The All Progressives Congress in Osun State has alleged that the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Wale Egbedun, attacked its House of Representatives candidate for Ifelodun/ Boripe/Odo-Otin Federal Constituency, Francis Eniade.
A statement by the spokesperson of the APC in Osun, Kola Olabisi, a copy obtained by NAIJAONPOINT on Thursday, said Eniade was allegedly attacked on Wednesday in Okuku, headquarters of Odo-Otin LGA.
“The convoy of Eniade was waylaid while returning from Inisa by suspected thugs and security personnel attached to Hon. Egbedun, who were said to be travelling in a Lexus Jeep,” the party alleged.
It added that Eniade drove to the Okuku Divisional Police Station for safety, but Egbedun’s security details and suspected thugs allegedly invaded the police station, where Eniade’s driver was wounded, and his Hilux and other vehicles were damaged.

The APC called for the arrest and prosecution of Speaker Egbedun and other alleged collaborators.
“Governor Adeleke, his cohorts and his Accord Party should put on their thinking caps by stopping the needless killings of our members, as it is not by force to govern the people who have rejected you because of your unenviable record of performance in the past three and a half years,” the statement added.
