The House of representatives candidate of People Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State for Remo Federal Constituency, Hon. Bola Oluwole has disclosed that the ruling party in the state APC’s Allegation of Masterminding Sagamu Protest is to smear his image over his popularity.
Oluwole disclosed this on Monday in a release signed by him following allegation by the ruling party that, he masterminded the violent protest in Sagamu, Remo at the weekend.
He noted that the ruling party is afraid of his growing popularity ahead of Saturday’s election.
He however condemned the attack and urged his constituents to shun the allegation and face their daily activities.
“I want to say it in strong terms that I am not in anyway connected to the protest, Nigerians are only angered by the economic hardships in the country and their inability to access their hard earn money and the fuel scarcity.
“The APC – led government should address the situation rather than shifting the blame to innocent Nigerians,” he said
“I am a peace loving person, a grassroots politician who has the love of his people at heart, I will never get my self involve in things that will destroy the peace and tranquility of my constituency.
“As at yesterday evening, our Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar met with all National Assembly candidates to strategize for the election so where will i have the chance to mobilise for the violent protest
“The development of my constituency is what is Paramount to me as a politician not to destroy the existing structures otherwise as purported from the camp of the opposition,” he added.
“I am condemning the attacks on the banks in it’s entirety and appeal to our youths to be patience and shun violent activities.
“I want to urge the general public and the people of my constituency to disregard the message and go about their daily activities in peace,” he concluded.
