The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State has reacted to statement credited to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) that Governor Seyi Makinde was wrong to have sacked council chairmen in the state.
Oyo government had on 31st, May, 2019, taken control of all motor parks in the state following a ban on the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) by Governor Seyi Makinde.
The government’s action followed alleged security breaches and factional clashes of the union members in some areas of Ibadan, the state capital.
In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Akeem Olatunji, the party said APC was yet to recover from the electoral shock it suffered after the 2019 elections.
The Party said: “The attention of Oyo State PDP has been drawn to a reckless and unguarded press release credited to Oyo State APC in which they kicked against measures to prevent premeditated violence by members of the proscribed NURTW and looting spree in the local councils across the state.
“It is pertinent to note that Oyo State APC leadership is yet to grapple with the fact that its eight-year ignoble reign of suffering, impunity, desecration of traditional institution and unimaginable looting of the state’s resources have come to an end.
“Hence, their attempt to stifle efforts of Engr Seyi Makinde PDP-led administration to reconstruct and reposition Oyo State to reclaim her lost glory.”
