The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has said that the APC government had concluded plans to clamp down on the opposition in the state with sponsored arrest of its members.

Speaking with journalists in Ilorin, on Tuesday, the PDP state chairman, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo, said the state government and the ruling APC had accused members of the opposition of the attack on dignitaries last Thursday during sallah prayers in Ilorin.

In a reaction, the state government through the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Alhaji Wahab Oba, debunked the allegation, saying this was not time for politicking.

"What could have warranted us running after PDP in Kwara state? What is the strength of the party here? I think the leaders of the party should simply search their conscience and see if it is their past that his hunting them. In Kwaran politics, it is the PDP that has the records of violence as showed in their last primary elections where dangerous weapons were freely used to settle political scores. On our side, it was an absolute peace. This is not time for politicking or raising of baseless allegations. They should form a credible option rather than crying wolf where there is none", he said.
