PDP warns Aregbesola against demolition of secretariat

Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, has warned Governor Rauf Aregbesola against going ahead to demolish the secretariat of the party in Osogbo, the state capital.
Olaoluwa gave the warning on Wednesday in an interview with journalists at the sideline of the meeting of PDP in Osun Central Senatorial District, which held at the party secretariat.
Members of the party from the Osun Central Senatorial District assured the party of their support in the 2014 governorship election.
The PDP chairman said that the party had re-filed the suit challenging the planned demolition of structure within the party secretariat, asking the governor to obey the rule of law rather than seeking to take actions which could trigger chaos in the state.
He said, “We have re-filed the suit in which we are challenging their plan to demolish our secretariat. Since he professes to obey the rule of law, I believe he will restrain himself from doing what could lead to the breakdown of law and order.

“He should face the issue of debt he had plunged the state into and stop threatening to demolish our secretariat. We won’t allow that to happen and that is why we have gone to court. We in the PDP are law abiding but we won’t allow injustice.
“Many people in the state have been rendered homeless through the wicked policy of this administration. Our people have known the difference between the PDP government and the APC government which is visionless.”
Justice A. A. Aderibigbe of an Osogbo High Court had struck out the earlier suit filed by the PDP chairman to challenge the planned demolition.
Following this, the governor wrote the PDP chairman, asking him to demolish parts of the secretariat which had been marked for demolition to give way for the road setback.
Aregbesola’s notice was contained in a letter written to the PDP chairman by the governor’s Special Adviser on Lands, Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Ayodele Owoade.
