This is also as the Odo-Otin PDP Elders’ Caucus described the physical attack as a case of attempted murder.
Olagunsoye Oyinlola, a former governor of Osun State was physically assaulted on Wednesday, February 16, 2022, in Osogbo by suspected supporters of Senator Ademola Adeleke.
The attack, which trended on social media, was roundly condemned by notable individuals within and outside the State.
In a statement jointly signed by Rasaq Oyelami, Chairman, Elders’ Caucus, PDP, Odo-Otin and Soji Ibikunle, the Public Relations Officer, the caucus stated that the act was not acceptable to them.
They acknowledged that the attack on Oyinlola was a clear indication of a deliberately sponsored plan, revealing that it was disheartening that the suspected gubernatorial aspirant and his handlers had not shown remorse and offered an apology in order to douse tension.
According to the statement, “It is disheartening that up till now, the handlers of this said gubernatorial aspirant, Senator Ademola Adeleke are yet to show remorse and send an apology to Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola to douse tension.
“For this reason, it is a dear indication that the handlers of the said gubernatorial aspirant deliberately sponsored the attack on Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola.”
