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.
