In its desperate effort to frustrate the new administration in Osun State, the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently leaving no stone unturned as investigation has revealed another of the party’s sinister plan to bomb some selected major towns across the state.
Investigation has revealed that Iwo, Osogbo, the state capital and Ilesa are the targets of the agents of the aggrieved opposition PDP with a view to causing chaos that could be used as a template for orchestrated impeachment move contemplated by Senator Iyiola Omisore, Senate President David Mark and some other chieftains of the PDP in the state.
It was gathered through an authoritative source that a clandestine meeting at the instance of the embattled state chairman of the PDP in Osun State, Mr. Razaq Oyelowo known as Landero, held at an undisclosed location in Osun State had already mandated a former military officer to secure bombs that could be detonated at the aforementioned cities simultaneously any moment from now.
Findings further revealed that the plot to bomb some cities in the state was hatched at one meeting called by a National Vice-Chairman of the party in the South-West, Mr. Tajudeen Oladipo with some of the PDP stalwarts in attendance, but the mandate was given to the controversial party chairman to liaise with a Colonel in the Nigerian Army who had been contacted on the development for mobilization and strategies.
A reliable source, who was privy to the meeting, stressed that Omisore was asked to mobilize fund for the execution of the plan, to which he concurred and promised to make it available immediately the military officer gets back to the PDP chairman that he had laid his hands on the explosives.
Information has it that the military officer had already been given N10 million upfront, with a view to making him more comfortable after the execution of the plan.
It would be recalled that Governor Rauf Aregbesola had earlier disclosed that he had uncovered a plot involving Vice-President Namadi Sambo, President of the Senate David Mark and Senator Iyiola Omisore to raise N1 billion to cause destabilization of Osun State with a view to undermining the administration of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the state.
However, the Senate President has been struggling to distance himself from the plot, arguing that the governor was making efforts to drag him into Osun State politics, but Aregbesola, while addressing journalists at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Wednesday revealed that Mark and Omisore’s secret meeting with four members of the Osun State House of Assembly in Abuja had been leaked to him.
Suggesting that he has been caught in his game, Omisore has not been able to deny the plot, though he is still hiding behind the shadow of the Senate President.
OSUN DEFENDER learnt that Omisore chose to embark on violence as a fall-back plan having lost his bid for the governorship seat to the Court of Appeal verdict; thinking that he could instigate violence to facilitate a state of emergency that would throw up a PDP person to man the affairs of the state for some months so that he could have the backing of the government to ride to the Senate again.
It was gathered that Omisore resorted to self-help when he found out that he may not win his race back to the Senate as long as Governor Aregbesola is still calling the shot in Osun State, knowing full well that all zones of the state may throw their support in favour of the ruling party in the forthcoming general elections so as to attract the attention of the governor for development.
