The acting PDP chairman in Osun State, Adekunle Akindele in his reaction to the incidents denied the allegations.

He said, “Osun PDP members only engage in peaceful protests all over the State. Our members did not attack anybody. Osun APC is raising false alarm simply because it was in trouble over its attempt to steal a popular mandate through the backdoor.”
