Oyo APC guber candidate, Alli alleges attack on wife, others

Oyo State's gubernatorial candidate for the All Progressives Congress, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, has alleged that his wife Tawakalitu Alli and other party members were attacked in Ibadan. In a statement released by his campaign director, Bisi Oladele, Alli recounted the incidents that occurred on Wednesday. According to him, hoodlums attacked his wife during a programme held at Ibikunle Palace.

Furthermore, Alli claimed that Remi Oseni, the party's Oyo South senatorial candidate, and Folake Olunloyo-Oshinlowo, the House of Representatives candidate for Ibadan North-West/Ibadan South-West Federal Constituency, were also targeted by miscreants in separate locations within the city. Alli condemned the attacks as "unwarranted and barbaric," emphasizing that Governor Seyi Makinde must be held accountable for the safety of all residents, regardless of their political affiliations.

The Security Secretary to the All Progressive Congress in Oyo (SSACO) has called upon security agencies to apprehend the perpetrators and ensure justice is served for the victims. "These acts of violence must serve as a deterrent to further criminal activities in our state," said Alli.
