PDP Allegedly Attacks APC’s Yayi, Adeniyi Jones Office

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for Lagos West Senatorial District in the forth coming elections, , Segun Adewale popularly called Aeroland has been accused of personally leading thugs to the office of Hon. Solomon Adeola of the All Progressives Congress yesterday at around 7.15pm. It was said that shots were fired into the premises and chants of Yayi (his nickname) come out, come out rendered the air and part of the building and Hon Solomon’s Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep destroyed.

The Lagos State APC Publicity Secretary, Mr Joe Igbokwe however released a statement today condemning the act and previous ones that have occurred in the state. Continue below to read the statement.

“We have witnessed this awful display of impunity and lawlessness when PDP thugs and supporters attacked APC faithfuls in Agege, and shot dead a member of our party. The other day at Mosan Okunola LCDA grassroot supporters of our Governorship Candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode who was on a door to door campaign were attacked leaving more than 10 vehicles damaged and many wounded.”

“The latest attack on our candidate, Yayi and his supporters in his office is yet another assault that needs to be investigated and culprits brought to justice especially when Segun Adewale has admitted that he went to Yayi’s office to complain about the removal of his campaign materials.”

 “The questions we are asking are: “What on earth is driving this frightening impunity being exhibited by the PDP in Lagos? What on earth will make Segun Adewale to muster the temerity and audacity to lead gunmen including the police to Yayi’s office without caring a hoot? Who is beating the drums for PDP in Lagos? What is the police doing? Is it only the PDP that has a monopoly of violence here in Lagos? What does PDP want in Lagos?

The Party says “It may be compelled to find ways to defend and protect its teeming supporters if the police and other security agencies cannot guarantee security of lives and property at a time like this.”

The party says “It is asking the smart and courageous Lagosians to make use of their phones and cameras to record such open blatant display of lawlessness and brigandage to help us to track down these horribleoffenders.”

“We appeal to all Lagosians especially our teeming supporters to remain calm and courageous in the face ofthese provocations. Crushing defeat is staring PDP in the face all over Nigeria and Lagos and this desperation is understandable. PDP cannot go down without a fight and they may decide to pull down the house. We must not allow them to do so.”
