The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has warned Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to exercise caution in his attempt to impress his party’s stalwarts.
The Osun PDP also warned Ganduje to pay serious attention to the political history of the Southwest to assist him in making informed lines while making public comments about the region.
The warning was issued through a statement signed by Sunday Bisi, the Osun PDP chairman, on Monday.
Ganduje reportedly boasted at a political gathering in Ondo State that his party would deploy all means to capture the entire Southwest.
PDP, while cautioning Ganduje over such reckless utterances capable of igniting citizens, which, in turn, could destabilise the country, insisted that the Osun people will decide their governor in the 2026 election.
“For a man who could not salvage his home state for the APC owing to his disastrous regime as governor of the state to start threatening fire and brimstone in the Southwest is not only reckless but absolutely insane,” the state PDP chairman said.
He described Ganduje’s postulation as a careless plot to plunge the Southwest into avoidable political turmoil in a country that is already on a stressed line of ethnic distrust and economic challenges.
“While Mr President continues to battle the depressed state of the nation’s economy, Mr Ganduje should be careful not to compound the situation by attempting barefaced election rigging, especially in the Southwest, as doing so will be nothing but stepping on a very dangerous cobra’s tail.
“If Mallam Ganduje failed as he did to cause war in Kano, where the APC was discarded for his harrowing reign in the state, he should be ready to face and accept similar verdicts in other states where the APC have failed the electorate.
“For us in Osun, we are used to such unstatemanly utterances, which resulted in a more disastrous outing for Ganduje’s party in the 2022 governorship election after his predecessor in office openly mandated APC thugs to invade and rig the election in Osun.
“This, Mr Ganduje must remember, irked the highly intelligent people of the state by voting aggressively against the then APC candidate, Gboyega Oyetola. The same fate, we want to assure, awaits APC in Osun State,” the statement concluded.
