Political thugs suspected to have sympathies for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday allegedly attacked the convoy of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.

The attack is said to have culminated in life-threatening gunshots, which left at least two supporters of the APC injured.

Many others allegedly got seriously injured while running for their lives.

But
a police source revealed the incident, which happened around
Isale-Koko, Ilorin suburb, occurred when the Vice President’s convoy had
left the area.

When contacted, spokesperson of the state police command Ajayi Okasanmi could not confirm the incident.

Reacting
on the development APC governorship candidate in the state Abdulrahman
Abdulrazaq condemned “the brazen attack today in Ilorin on the convoy of
the Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo by armed PDP thugs.”

In a
statement by his media aide, Rafiu Ajakaye, Abdulrazaq said: “The vice
president was at Isale Aluko suburb of Ilorin on a door-to-door campaign
when some dare-devil gunmen opened fire at his convoy which included
thousands of APC members and supporters.

“In what is a
reminiscence of the Offa robbery, this attack is the height of
recklessness on the part of these street urchins who have long been
empowered and armed by the discredited dynasty to terrorise our
community and anyone who has contrary views to their amala politics.

“Coming
just a day after two of our supporters were killed in Ojoku in the
convoy of our senatorial candidate Architect Lola Ashiru, this is
becoming too much and the madness must stop.

“Going into an
election with these thugs clearly on the loose is an existential threat
not just to all of us challenging the misrule in our state but to the
entire people of the state and their properties.

“We call for
immediate arrest and prosecution of these thugs. We also demand
investigations to reveal those who gave the orders for these deadly
attacks.

“We call for all measures to be taken to ensure safety
of lives and properties and sanctity of the ballot box in Kwara and
beyond.

“No one’s political interest should be at the expense of human lives and their properties.

“We insist that a political contest is a contest of ideas and no one must be allowed to cow or kill others in the process.”
