The kinsmen of activist politician , Omoyele Sowore, under the aegis of the Ese-Odo Progressive Forum, in collaboration with the Ondo State Democratic Vanguard, has described his attacks on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, as baseless and malicious.

Ekwutosblog reports that Sowore has described Egbetokun as ‘Ilegal IGP’.

He is insisting that the IGP’s tenure elapsed in 2024.

The activist, who was recently arrested and arraigned by the Nigeria Police Force alleged that Egbetokun’s continuous stay in the office is illegal.

Speaking on the matter at a press conference in Akure on Monday the convener of the group, Comrade Olusegun Victor and Akintunde Sowore alleged that the attacks against the IGP are being sponsored by desperate politicians.

According to them, the attacks by the activist and his cohorts are harmful to the progress of the country.

The groups alleged that the attacks were sponsored by desperate politicians and politically exposed officers in the police force who were determined to destabilize the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

It said: “We, the members of the Ese-Odo Progressive Forum, in partnership with the Ondo State Democratic Vanguard, have gathered today to respond to the baseless and malicious attacks on the Inspector General of Police by Mr Omoyele Sowore.

“Mr Omoyele Sowore’s repeated attacks on IGP Egbetokun are not only baseless but they are also sponsored by desperate politicians and politically exposed officers in the police force who are determined to destabilize the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

“We urge Mr Omoyele Sowore and his supporters to reconsider their actions, retrace their steps, and desist from further undermining our national security. Their actions only serve to ridicule and destabilize the important progress we are making as a nation.

“More specifically, they bring unnecessary disrepute to the people of Ondo State, and particularly to the good people of Ese-Odo Local Government Area, who are known for their commitment to peace and progress.

“We stand by our security forces and our leadership, and we will continue to support the efforts of IGP Kayode Egbetokun and the Nigerian Police Force as they work to make our country safer for all.”

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Iliya Damagum, has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is more divided than the PDP.

Damagum stated this while welcoming some members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, who defected to the PDP in Nguru and Bade Local Government Areas of Yobe State.

According to him, the PDP is always a formidable opposition force, noting that the party knows how to address any internal issues if they arise.

“If there is a crisis, we know how to solve it. We are united, and our leadership is intact.

“We have one chairman and one secretariat, while the ruling party cannot even hold a NEC meeting for almost two years. You can’t compare the two,” he said.

He pointed out that the ruling party has not been able to hold a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in nearly two years.

“I don’t know why the media continues to report crises within our party,” he added.

Damagum reiterated that the PDP remains a strong and united brand, adding, “We are the party to beat.”

He maintained that the party’s doors are open to those who left in the past, as it prepares to build a credible force for the 2027 elections.
