Lasun Yusuf Is A Mischief Maker, Mere Opportunist – Osun APC

The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Lasun Yussuf on the threat to his life, among all other allegations of unfounded and baseless security concerns.

The party in a statement signed by it’s Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Barrister Kunle Oyatomi, said Hon. Yusuf is a mischief maker and mere cheap opportunist.

The statement read

The attention of the leadership of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) in the State of Osun have been drawn to a release issued by one Dr. Aderemi Suleiman Ajala on behalf of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Lasun Yussuf on the threat to his life, among all other allegations of unfounded and baseless security concerns.

We hereby state unequivocally that the Deputy Speaker and his band of delusional propagandists are mere opportunists clustering to the death of our late party leader and illustrious son of Ede, Senator Isiaka Adeleke to make smokescreen names and score undue political relevance for themselves. To all intent and purposes, the deputy speaker has once again demonstrated to the teeming populace that he is mischievous and a mere opportunist who lacks the deserving respect for the dead and cannot stand by the etiquette and traditional norms of our rich cultural heritage as Yoruba speaking people.

Setting the records straight, the executive of the Osun State APC in line with the tenets of democratic principles entrenched in the ideology of our great party, and in order not to distract the business of developmental governance and fulfilment of our electioneering promises as contained in our manifesto issued an advisory notice to all intending governorship aspirants for the 2018 elections to wait until there are clear guidelines and directives by INEC, as such the claim by Hon. Lasun Yusuf that himself and the late Adeleke were singled out and warned is a blatant lie and a template to deceit.

Alas, without searching further, Hon. Yusuf has without any iota of doubt within us that he is the chief sponsor and promoter of the irritating blackmail against the government of the state of Osun that the late senator representing Osun west senatorial district was poisoned which was a resultant effect of his death. This in its entirety is illogical and irresponsible.

We are poised to believe this outburst must be as a result of the outcast behavioural tendencies of Lasun Yussuf in Osun APC after distancing himself from the activities of the party

We equally stand in the position of the Adeleke family, having affirmed that they are still waiting for the comprehensive report of the autopsy carried out on the first civilian governor of our state.

In the spirit of this sorrowful loss, unfortunate death, mourning and more remarkably as a sign of respect to the soul of the deceased, we shall henceforth decline to join issues with self-seeking politician, who is presently arrogating undue popularity to himself.

Its quite unfortunate that someone who rode on the popularity and acceptability of our party to get to National Assembly could fabricate tissues of lies against the Government and Leadership of the Party. We only wish to advise the lawmaker to simply retrace his steps if truly he is still a member of the Osun APC.
