A Labour Party candidate in the Local Government election ongoing in Lanlate, Ibarapa East Local Government, Hon. Masolanu Ayanyemi has decried the atrocities meted out in the area by Federal honourable member of House of Representatives, from Ido/Ibarapa East Federal Constituency, Hon. Yemi Taiwo.
According to a statement made available to journalists on Saturday, Sola Abegunde who wrote on behalf of the chairman said the federal honourable member has been fomenting trouble by using thugs to snatch ballot boxes and stuffing them with already thumbprinted ballot papers in favor of PDP.
Also, The Speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin is also accused of similar allegation in Eruwa.
The statement reads below…
I am constraint to present this complaint on your WhatsApp page due to restrictions in vehicular movements and the urgency of the matter.
As am presenting this complaint, Yemi Taiwo, the Hon. representing Ido/Federal Constituency has taken over the whole of ward 10 LANLATE with thugs snatching ballot boxes and stuffing them with already thumbprinted ballot papers in favor of PDP.
His thugs led by one aka Razato also led thugs to chase away Labour Party Agents and sympathisers from Units 1 and 2, Court Hall, LANLATE.
There is no ballot boxes at Unit 3 Ward 9, LANLATE and Ilado ward 7, LANLATE.
At ward 6, Sango, Eruwa, voting was going on smoothly until Doyin Ogundele led Lolade Bello and other thugs to cart away ballot boxes.
Similarly, thugs loyal to DEBO OGUNDOYIN have taken over ward 1, Oke Oba.
ERUWA and LANLATE are currently boiling and the police are helpless.
Generally, PDP thugs imported by Yemi Taiwo and DEBO OGUNDOYIN have taken over the local government shooting sporadically and thumbprinting for PDP
Mr Chairman, Ibarapa East is seriously calling your integrity to a great challenge.
Prior to this election, the talk is all about your integrity.
There is no election in lbarapa East and we call for the total cancellation of this charade.
Thank you.
SOLA ABEGUNDE.
(Coordinator, MASOLANU/AYANYEMI for Chairman).
