The Fear of Agunbiade Drives Opponents Crazy As They Sponsored Attack To Blackmail Him In Ikorodu

Earlier before now, supporters of the lawmaker representing Ikorodu Constituency 1 and Majority Leader, Lagos State House of Assembly, SOB Abigunade raised an alert over plot by some characters, allegedly sponsored by other aspirants, to cause chaos within Ikorodu community and instill fear into the hearts of the general public as well as party members, ahead of today’s APC House of Assembly Primaries.

 

Perpetrators of the act, according to a statement made available to SECURITY MONITOR by the lawmaker’s media team are “nothing but rabble rousers, numbering about fifty, adorning T-shirts procured for them by a Local Government chairman and financed by two desperate aspirants, went about the streets of Ikorodu, harassing commercial bike and tricycle operators wearing “Opomulero” branded caps, destroying banners and posters of our principal and chanting war songs against the person of Hon SOB Agunbiade”.

 

The statement expresses worriedness that aspirants could sponsor an attack on a fellow aspirant in an election that is yet to be conducted. “We are nonetheless unperturbed by their childish attempt to scare us. And if their violent outburst yesterday was an attempt to blackmail Ho. SOB Agunbiade, they failed woefully as well-meaning people within and outside the division have been having good words for him over the incident. He has been told to continue his peaceful disposition to the provocations as efforts are on to unravel and apprehend those fanning the embers of discord in Ikorodu”.

 

The violence outburst, which startrd from Ebute area of Ikorodu, had a brief stop at Ojogbe, where the protesters were given white T-Shirts by a serving local government chairman, went through Ikorodu garage where commercial bike and tricycle operators in support of our Prinipal were molested by the attackers, through Alhaji Street, Ladega and Ota Ona. The protest became more violent as they approached our Constituency Office on Awolowo Road, Oke Ota Ona, with gun shots released into the air amidst destruction of our billboards, banners and posters.

 

Party members who had gathered at our constituency office to savour the victory of Hon. Bayo Osinowo at the Senate primaries, were attacked and rough handled.

 

“We know their sponsors who provided them with the funds with which they executed the attacks and unleashed mayhem on our peace loving constituents”

 

“We appreciate all security agents who responded to our calls and swung into action swiftly, particularly the Area Commander, who came in person with his entourage upon hearing of the attack. We are optimistic that they would get to the roots of this matter and fish out everyone who sponsored and partook in this dastardly ac”t.

 

“We appeal to all our supporters to remain calm in the face of the unwarranted attack. We encourage them to once again come out en mass to show their support and approval of our aspiration to put Ikorodu in her rightful political place in Lago”s.

 

“Democracy is for the people and we promise as usual, and more than ever before, to use their mandate for the development of the people. Please, go out today and vote massively for your son and brother, Hon SOB Agunbiade”.
