In what observers have derisively referred to as a dress rehearsal, hoodlums have burgled the campaign office of the Ondo State governor’s campaign organization on Wednesday, with several items stolen.
This was revealed in a statement issued and signed by the Information Director of LACO-FSIC, Kayode Fasua, who noted that the incident was discovered on Wednesday when staff resumed work.
Fasua indicated that the manner in which the office was burgled suggested that the invasion was politically motivated.
The leadership of the organization condemned the attack, stating, “There was a method to the burglary.
The invaders not only stole some belongings but also destroyed electrical sockets, tore down Governor Aiyedatiwa’s billboards and posters, and smashed furniture items.”
Fasua added that while the invaders took two rechargeable fans, the extensive destruction of memes and electrical gadgets clearly exposed them as political burglars, likely from the opposition camp.
“With what took place overnight, it is now evident that at least one of the opposition parties in the state is prone to violence and criminal activity, despite the olive branch extended to all by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who is tirelessly working to improve the standard of living for the masses.
“The methodical burglars and their paymasters were apparently shocked by the large crowds at the two meetings held in quick succession at the newly acquired LACO-FSIC campaign headquarters in Akure.
They succumbed to the devil’s influence, destroying multi-million Naira properties and stealing valuable items,” Fasua lamented.
He recalled that at the inaugural meeting of LACO-FSIC leaders in Akure, the Convener of the Campaign Organization, Dr. Oladipupo Okeyomi, aka Carry Go, and its Director-General, Mr. Saka Yusuf-Ogunleye, led other State and Local Government Directors in outlining plans for a mass, community-based campaign to ensure total victory for Governor Aiyedatiwa on November 16.
“The opposition likely sponsored moles to spy on our meetings, and realizing the futility of stopping what has become a moving train, they, in a state of panic over their looming failure, resorted to the indignity of political burglary, as was carried out overnight,” the LACO-FSIC spokesman criticized.
