The Dapo Biodun Campaign Organisation has raised the alarm over an alleged plan to attack the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun.
The spokesman for Abiodun, Remmy Hazzan, raised the alarm in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday.
Hazzan alleged that there was an attempt to increase smear campaigns against the candidate and attack his convoy.
The spokesman said, “As we plan to start our local government tour from Ijebu North -East Local Government Area on Monday, January 7, 2019, it has become necessary to inform the general public that intelligence at our disposal revealed plans from certain quarters not only to heighten smear campaigns against our candidate, Dapo Abiodun, but to also attack his convoy as we move round the state with our teeming supporters.
“We want to let the public know that our campaign organisation, as promised from onset, has continued to run a decent and issue-based campaign with zero tolerance for violence.
“We, therefore, find it appalling and alarming that some desperate politicians with their known sponsors and collaborators, are planning devilish acts against a decent candidate who is only offering to use his wealth of experience and established connections in the service of our dear state to take Ogun State to greater heights.”
The statement added, “Our schedule of tour was carefully selected and copies of same were sent to security agencies in advance.
“We will never take the voters for granted. We want to continue to meet, talk to, and interact with Ogun voters and sell the vision and programmes of our party and candidates to the Ogun voters without intimidation, harassment or coercion.”
