The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has called on security agents to keep an eye on the “Summit on Education and Finance” organised by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Iyiola Omisore and the Osun Stakeholders.
The APC referred to a briefing of the Osun Stakeholders which the former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Niyi Owolade, the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, and former Board Chairman, Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Dr. Muyiwa Oladimeji, had coordinated.
It said the summit is a ploy to create an atmosphere for mayhem and chaos in the state.
In a statement by its Director of Publicity, Kunle Oyatomi, the party said: “We have been left with no doubt that the summit is another phase of the grand plot of the opposition to sustain their campaigns of calumny against the government.
“It is germane to inform all well-meaning, decent individuals who may have been invited to this ill-motivated summit but are unaware of the real intention to see through the selfish political aggrandisement that lurks behind it.
“Since when has the PDP become concerned about education? It had all the opportunity in seven years to prioritise education in the state, but left the sector to rot, until Governor Rauf Aregbesola came in.
“Yinka Odumakin and the rest of the conveners participating in the so-called summit do not have any superior contribution to make that could replace what Prof. Wole Soyinka, erudite professors and other stakeholders had given to the Aregbeosola-led government.
“The Wole Soyinka-led summits’ advice and recommendation on how to reposition education in Osun are beyond what Omisore, PDP and the so-called stakeholders can ever produce.”
On finance, which the summit purports to discuss, the APC said the conveners lack any moral, political, professional or ethical basis to venture into that area.
“In the 90 months of its rule, the PDP administration generated N300 million Internally Generated Revenue, whereas in 40 months of the Aregbesola administration, the IGR was raised five times over without imposing additional tax.”
