Alleged Assassin on Shagaya: PDP, Saraki Want Thorough Investigation, Petition IGP

The Peoples Democratic party (PDP) says the party was aware of a recent story making media rounds, of an alleged cultist & thug “Ojulari” who was accosted by private citizens and handed over to the police, at the campaign ground of the House of representatives candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Ilorin west and Asa federal constituency, Mal. Muktar Shagaya. The thug was allegedly armed with dangerous weapons and assorted charms.

A statement signed by Prince ‘Tunji Moronfoye, Kwara state PDP Publicity Secretary clarified that “Ojulari” had confessed to being a PDP member and some media aides of the executive Governor of Kwara state in their desperation to impress their rapidly sinking principal, had decided to put a spin on the story by claiming in a libelous manner that, the alleged thug and renown cultist was a “Saraki dynasty assassin” out to murder Mal. Muktar Shagaya, the APC house of representatives candidate. Nothing could be more further from the truth.

The PDP alleges that the APC were trying to replicate their pre 2019 elections lies and vile repugnant propaganda, from the darkest pit of hell. The pre 2019 propaganda of trying unsuccessfully to frame the PDP leader, Dr. Abubakar ‘Bukola Saraki (CON) for the tragic Offa robbery where over 30 innocent souls lost their lives (May their gentle souls, continue to rest in peace, amen).

“the helies and Putrid Propaganda of the APC has been clearly debunked as the court case involving the Offa robbery suspects progresses in court. In addition to the above, the principal investigating officer of the Offa robbery case, Mr. Abba Kyiari is currently incarcerated in jail for his purported rogue, extra judicial actions and alleged drug trafficking”, Morounfoye said.

“We at the PDP have to complement the official Twitter account of Mal. Muktar Shagaya, that refuted this nauseating story. We have no doubt about the candidate’s family pedigree and his good intentions. However, he is with a sinking party, that is destined to lose the forth coming general elections. The apparent mass rejection of the APC and their failure nationally already points to this undisputable fact”

The PDP affirmed that it can categorically say that “Ojulari” isn’t a registered member of the PDP, as we neither harbor thugs and cultists nor do we encourage thuggery in any shape or form. We leave that to the Kwara APC. We have seen numerous occasions in the past where thuggery and primordial violence were on display at various APC functions in Kwara state.

“We at the PDP put it to the purveyors of such lies and putrid propaganda that Dr. Abubakar ‘Bukola Saraki (CON) has already petitioned the inspector General of police (IGP) to investigate and prosecute the people who were responsible for this defamatory story and those who have been peddling such without confirmation, all over the social media space”.

The leading opposition party in the country however exhort Nigerians and Kwarans to ignore the “dying horse’s” last kicks shenanigans of the unfortunate Kwara state APC regime and vote in the PDP, from top to bottom in the fast approaching general elections. It is already clear that the 8 year torment of Nigerians must come to an end with the rejection of the APC regime both at the national and state level”.
