Osun Bye-Election: CSCEOS uncovers plan by Aregbesola to use Ambulance to perpetrate electoral fraud
An Osun state based Civil Society Organization (CSO), the Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State(CSCEOS) has uncovered plan by the State governor,Mr. Rauf Aregbesola to use State owned ambulance vehicles to perpetrate electoral fraud by using it to carry ballot boxes stuffing with ballot papers as well using it to board political thugs imported from Lagos with their sophisticated weapons to various poling units across the Osun west Senatorial district during the forthcoming bye-election .
The group also disclosed that the State government had concluded arrangement to make use of refuse vehicle for the same purpose in the units where number of available ambulance could not reach to carry out the nefarious electoral fraud during the poll,alleging that all the political thugs to be used by the State government had been lodged in an hotel around Islahudden Grammar School,Ring -Road area,Osogbo in the State capital .
A credible source from government house, Oshogbo informed the civil group that Mr. Aregbesola and his team came up with the idea of using emergency ambulance vehicles as a way to beat the security operatives deployed to monitor the forthcoming bye election in the state by deceiving them that they carried emergency person to the hospital during the poll.
This was contained in a statement issued by the CSCEOS' Directorate of Media and Strategy, which was signed by its Chairman, Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman and copies were made available to newsmen on Tuesday, declared that the government house source which crave anonymity, said
that Aregbesola had given verbal directive to the new State
Commissioner for Health, Dr Rafiu Isamotu to make all the ambulances in the custody of State Ministry of Health and Hospital Management board available for electoral purposes.
The statement has it that the same directive was also given to the State Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Bola Ilori who was inner member of the Aregbesola’s Planning Committee of the Bye-Election, to release all the refuse vehicles in the Ministry of Environment for the same purpose ahead of Saturday Osun west Bye-Election.
It enjoyed the good people of the State to be vigilant by exposing and reporting any suspected movement of ambulance and refuse vehicles before and during the forthcoming bye-election in the State to the security agents, noting that all the effort of Mr. Aregbesola to rig the bye-election would be thwarted by the people of the Zone.
According to the statement, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola has been hell bent in rigging the forthcoming bye-election in favour of his anointed candidate, Mudasiru Hussein, with the collaboration of the few bad elements in the electoral umpire and security operatives in order to thwart the wishes of the people of the Senatorial district, advising the electoral officials and security personnel deployed for the bye-election to remember the outcome of 2015 general elections and River State bye-election by letting their conduct during the poll, be of apolitical and professionalism.
It therefore urged all the security agents deployed to monitor the
election to be at alert before, during and after the bye-election by
not allowing any miscreants to disrupt the peaceful conduct of the election, urging that anything capable of breaching the peace and orderliness of the conduct of the poll should be nipped in the bud.
I WEEP FOR OSUN STATE.
Below is the 2016 WASC results as released by WAEC. The states are categorized according to the performance in the examination. Oyo and Osun states are the only two southwest states in the lowest category. Very soon, we may be categorized as one of the Educationally disadvantaged states. This is a call for urgent action from all of us. This is more than an emergency. Even the Book Haram ravaged state of Borno performed better. Please share this till it gets to the decision makers and other stakeholders.
[GROUP A STATES]
• Abia -1st
• Anambra -2nd
• Edo -3rd
• Rivers -4th
• Imo -5th
• Lagos -6th
• Bayelsa -7th

• Ondo -13th
• Abuja -14th
• Kogi -15th

It is quite disheartening that the level of performance can be that low. It is a gradual process. What do you expect when teachers were not appointed where needed, where those on the job are dispirited due to no incentive from the government? The students will definitely suffer for it. The cumulative effects of this will have deleterious consequences on the future of our state. No efforts should be spared to get us back to our prestigious position educationally. First, will be to vote out a government that can afford to toy with the destiny of our children at the next election. Second, there will be need to organise an educational summit to map out the strategies to confront the problem. God bless Osun State.

3. That we equally appeal to INEC to guarantee a free, fair and transparent exercise that will be acceptable to the majority.
4. That we urge the people of Osun state, especially the electorate in the west senatorial district to remain calm and conduct themselves in a peaceful manner during the election.
Osun PDP Truce: Southwest Leaders Commend Omisore
Southwest leaders of Peoples Democratic Party poured encomium on Senator Iyiola Omisore for the leadership role he played in brokering peace among the warring factions in Osun State.
The lingering dispute which had polarized the party into two; Senator Ahmed Makarfi and Senator Alli Modu Sheriffs camps, came to an abrupt end on Sunday June 18, 2017 at the country home of Senator Omisore in Ile Ife, Osun State.
According to the Zonal Chairman of the party in Southwest, Olorogun Eddy Olafeso said the move by Omisore which led to the meeting can be described as a worthy development which should be emulated by national leaders of the party. Senator Omisore's initiatives brought about this unique truce within the party and his sincerity and astute leadership quality must be commended by all because PDP in Osun State today can now stand as one,” Olafeso said.
Speaking further South West Zonal Chairman said for PDP to regain its lost glory, others must borrow a leaf from Osun State, and end the disunity that is ravaging the party and see themselves as a family under one umbrella, and strive to take party to greater height. "My belief is that this great achievement in Osun PDP, will motivate all other states to follow suit, a bid to reclaim our lost glory,”
Olafeso also advised members of the party in Osun State that they should not allow the opposition to throw spanner in their wheel of progress.
“We must now see ourselves as people with common front and that is the only way we can reach our desired goal,” he opined.

Rev. Bunmi Jenyo,
Zonal Secretary, South West
