 Olatunde, however urged the security operatives  to kindly unravel the identity of the heartless Killers gang, who are hell bent to silence the opposition elements in Oyo State.

 “It is on record that Nigeria is running Three tiers of Government, i.e Federal, State and Local Governments.

 “While the APC Federal Government is not irresponsible to refuse working relationships with PDP Government in Oyo State, we are however dismayed that PDP State Government is desperately determined to refuse Elected Local Government Chairmen, turning itself to the Judiciary by interpreting Valid and Invalid Elections, all in a bid to deny them from serving their mandate, freely given to them on May 12th 2018,serving only one of their 3 years mandate.

“A mandate which was truncated on May 29th 2019 by the Executive order recklessness of H. E, Engr SEYI MAKINDE and has been refusing to tow the line of Statemens despite reasonable advice from official quarters.

 “It is bad enough that, it is not yet one year that APC left Government that all these daylight assassination of opposition elements are taking place”, the statement concluded
