The People’s Democratic Party in Oyo State has asked the All Progressives Congress in the State to stop playing politics with the lives and property of the people of the State at all critical time.
Reacting to a statement credited to the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, Mr Wasiu Sadare, the PDP asked the APC to seize the opportunity of the holy month of Ramadan and Lent to repent and also purge themselves of the bitterness in their hearts. The Party said the opposition APC should behave like a group of people who truly have the fear of God at heart and not some heartless people whose main objective is to seize every occasion of unfortunate incidents in the State to play bitter politics.
The PDP said if it weren’t for Ramadan, it would have concluded that Mr Sadare is drunk as usual and that his press release was written as usual from a beer parlor as his tradition.
The PDP implored the people of Oyo State to ignore and also see the ranting of the All Progressives Congress in the State as that of a drowning party still clutching at the last means of survival.
In a statement released and made available to newsmen in Ibadan by the Acting Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Oyo State, Mr Micheal Ogunsina, the party said, what happened at Aleshinloye is an unfortunate incident which every reasonable political party or individual should never play politics with. The Party said if the APC has no means of helping the victims of the inferno, they should keep shut instead of mocking them.
The PDP said it strongly commiserates the victim of Aleshinloye fire who lost millions of valuables and money to the fire incident. It’s both unfortunate and very concerning.
“We were all in this State when incidents of fire outbreaks were put off before they spiraled out into a bigger situation by the Oyo State Fire Service but the APC is blind to those incidents and wanted to play politics with the recent incident.
” The APC should note that more as they write their press statements from the beer parlors, more they would look like court jesters to the people of Oyo State.
” Governor Makinde has continued to empowered every necessary and important agency in the State since the government came on board, something the APC failed to do when they were in power. We will just urge Mr Sadare to stop mocking the victims of Aleshinloye fire inferno as we have nothing more to say on this issue as it is an unfortunate one which no one would have expected pettiness from the opposition party”, the statement concluded.
