IPAC reacts to murder of APC leader in Osun

The Southwest wing of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has reacted to the murder of Mr Tunde Ejoka, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun state who was killed on Wednesday at his residence in Ijebu-Jesa, headquarters of the Ori-Ade Local Government Area of the state.

According to the Chairman of IPAC in the Southwest, Mr Wale Adebayo, on Friday in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr Dayo Joseph, the murder was outrageous and barbaric.

“The killing is despicable. It is the man against man, and we can only appeal to security agencies to speed up their surveillance and do the needful. I’m calling on stakeholders and political gladiators to eschew thuggery and violence before, during and after elections, so as not to heat up the polity. I also enjoin the Federal Government to take necessary steps to ensure free, fair and credible governorship and House of Assembly elections on March 11,” he said.
