why we deployed Soldiers- obiokoro
Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, yesterday in Ibadan, Oyo State capital justified Federal Government’s deployment of soldiers in the Osun State governorship election, saying it was necessary to forestall bloodletting in the state.
The minister who spoke with newsmen in Ibadan to debunk the claim that he was in Osun State to facilitate the rigging of the poll under security cover, said soldiers were drafted to Osun to maintain peace and orderliness during the election. The minister, who spoke against the backdrop of criticisms of his alleged presence in Osun State and demand for his immediate withdrawal from the state by the All Progressive Congress APC, said the peaceful outcome of the polls had vindicated the Federal Government’s wisdom and decision in involving the military.
He alleged that the APC had planned mayhem, but for the massive security cover put in place.
“If the military had not been drafted to Osun’s election, blood would have been flowing there. The soldiers there are highly professional and they are there to ensure a crisis and violence-free election. The whole idea is to create a conducive atmosphere for a free and fair election and President Goodluck Jonathan should be commended for this.
“You, gentlemen of the press can see me in Ibadan live and direct today (yesterday). As you too can see, I am not in Osun not to talk of being part of the election there. As I speak with you now (12:45p.m) APC has invaded Osun with thugs. What APC is doing is in contradiction of electoral guidelines. We had election in Edo where the military was involved and Adams Oshiomole won. APC did not complain. Recently, we had Ekiti election where PDP won. And people adjudged the election to be free and fair. APC leaders should learn to be good losers.”
