Against the background of current palpable unsavoury political antics of the opposition in Ogun state, aimed at tarnishing the tall reputation of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, even intimidating him, African Democratic Congress, ADC in the state has issued stern warning/condemnation.
A press release signed by Publicity Secretary, National Media Frontiers, ADC Ogun State chapter, Hon. Muhammed MJG GKAF states sequel;
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ogun State Chapter, strongly condemns the ongoing intimidation and smear campaign targeted at our party leader and Interim National Secretary , Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, by opposition forces in the South West Region.
“It is unacceptable and undemocratic as he exercises his constitutional and political right to campaign across the region, elements of the opposition resort to harassment and attacks, instead of engaging in issue based politics .
“Such actions are a direct assault on democracy , free expression, and the spirit of fair political competition.
“The ADC calls on security agencies, and all relevant authorities to guarantee the safety and freedom of movement for Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and all our party leaders nationwide.
“Democracy thrives on inclusivity , tolerance , and fairness , not intimidation.
” We urge our members and supporters to remain steadfast and law – abiding, as the ADC will continue to pursue its vision of a just, democratic , and prosperous Nigeria”.
