APC’s Desperation Boils Over with Fabricated Wild Allegations
▪️Kola Olabisi’s Fiction Fails Fact-Test, Will Ultimately Be Tested in Court
The attention of the Accord Media Centre has been drawn to yet another concocted alarmist statement issued by the Osun APC, riddled with wild allegations, and a clumsy attempt to blackmail Mr. Ibukun Fadipe (IBK) and the Accord.
What the APC has released is not a statement of facts, but a poorly scripted piece of political fiction.
For the record, every allegation contained in the APC’s statement is baseless, and deliberately crafted to mislead the public. At no point has Mr. Ibukun Fadipe sponsored, or associated with any form of political violence in Ijesa-land or any part of Osun State.
The reckless claim that he has “introduced maximum force” or “turned Ijesa-land into a theatre of violence” is a blatant lie, unsupported by a single credible report from any security agency. These claims exist only in the imagination of a party clearly rattled by the growing acceptance of Accord across the state.
The APC’s attempt to link IBK to any so-called “violence template” from previous elections is not only dishonest but laughable. There is no evidence, none, that Mr. Fadipe has mobilized thugs, imported hoodlums, or coordinated any violent activity.
The story about thugs being moved across the state, lodged in hotels, and deployed for attacks is preemptive of the strategy Osun APC is planning against Governor Adeleke, Accord, and the people of Osun State.
The figures being paraded about killings and attacks are equally suspicious, and clearly weaponized for political sympathy. If such grave incidents truly occurred in the manner described, the APC should present verifiable records from law enforcement agencies instead of hiding behind claims designed to provoke emotions and mislead the public.
The baseless insinuation that Mr. Fadipe recently distributed millions of naira to criminal elements is outrightly defamatory, not only to IBK, but also to the young entrepreneurs who as come out publicly to acknowledge business support.
Youth empowerment and lawful engagement with supporters cannot be twisted into criminal activity simply because the APC is uncomfortable with the rising profile of a credible and widely accepted aspirant. Throwing around wild accusations about “wanted criminals” without names, arrests, or official reports only exposes the emptiness of their claims.
The APC’s sudden concern about violence is not only ironic but exposes staggering hypocrisy. A party long associated with intimidation via alleged federal might now attempts to launder its image by shouting wolf where none exists. Their strategy of manufacturing panic, and flooding the space with lies has become predictable and ineffective.
We challenge the APC to step out of its comfort zone of propaganda, and produce a single credible evidence. Security agencies are not tools for political theatre, traditional rulers are aware of the facts, and Osun people can no longer be bamboozled.
It must also be noted that the APC’s continuous resort to inciting is a greater danger to public peace than the imaginary threats it keeps inventing. Those who consistently heat up the polity with reckless statements should not pretend to be guardians of stability.
On the issue of Mr. Kolawole Olabisi, the APC’s lying machine, it must be stated clearly and without ambiguity that he will have his days in court. No amount of media noise, or fabricated outrage will shield him from the legal consequences of his claims. Any idiot can allege, proof is demanded in court, and that day is inevitable.
Accord remains committed to peaceful political engagement, and democratic principles. We urge security agencies to remain professional and not be distracted by politically motivated false alarms designed to drag them into partisan games, as usual.
The people of Osun, particularly in Ijesa-land, are wiser than the APC assumes. In the end, facts will prevail, and those who trade in falsehood will be held accountable; both in the court of law, and in the court of public opinion.
