The Ondo State People’s Democratic Party, yesterday, decried the attack of its members in Idanre Local Government Area of the state by alleged soldiers.
The party accused APC lawmaker representing Idanre/Ifedore Federal Constituency, Mr. Tajudeen Adefisoye, of planning the attack on its members and the destruction of shops where members were holding a meeting.
Adefisoye, who is the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Army, had accused some PDP youths of attacking his convoy, last Saturday, in the town, injuring his supporters.
The PDP alleged that the invasion by the alleged fake soldiers was a reprisal attack by the APC lawmaker.
Reacting to the invasion, the Director of Media and Publicity of PDP, in Idanre council area, Mr Fasoranti Adeyemi, in a statement, said: “The military action started around 5:45 pm and lasted till 7:05 pm which resulted in the destruction of shops and property.
“No amount of threats and intimidations will stop Idanre/Ifedore from voting PDP candidates in February/March 2023 and from winning.”
