The Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, on Monday, accused the state Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Akin Oke, of making empty bragging by saying that his party was prepared to return to government in the state.
The PDP in Oyo State raised the accusation in a statement made available to journalists in Ibadan by its Publicity Secretary, Akeem Olatunji, on Monday.
It read in parts, “Despite the colossal failure of the last administration in the state under the misrule of APC government, it still has the courage to parade itself as an association to be taken seriously.
“Instead of coming out clean to apologise for its unrivaled failure, massive looting of public funds, carting away with public properties, the APC was emboldened to taunt the people.
“Instead of showing remorse they continue to display sheer affront and assault on the people’s sensibility despite the unspeakable hardship they were subjected to in the last eight years.”
The statement added that in spite of the huge resources at the disposal of the state while the APC was in power in the state, it merely enriched its members at the detriment of the people.
“It is a shameful thing for a political party to display such high level of disrespect for the people.
“The collective resolve of the people through total rejection of APC in the state as displayed in the last general election should have sent a strong signal that the opposition is unwanted.”
