Supporters of the All Progressives
Congress in Osun State on Wednesday trooped out to celebrate the victory
of the party’s candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) in
Saturday’s poll.
Some of the APC supporters were sighted
at Gbogan/Osogbo Road carrying a casket draped in Peoples Democratic
Party’s colour and logo.
The supporters, accompanied by
trumpeters, danced through Odi Olowo Street and some other streets in
the Osun State capital, rendering victory songs and mocking the PDP,
whose candidate, President Goodluck Jonatha, lost to Buhari.
An APC member of the House of
Representatives from Osogbo/Olorunda/ Irepodun/Orolu Federal
Constituency, Mr. Lasun Yusuf, described the action of his party’s
supporters as abominable.
Yusuf, who is the Deputy Chairman of the
House Committee on Water Resources, said the supporters’ mode of
celebration was not acceptable to the party.
“That is over zealousness on the part of
people you cannot control. It is bad and should be not be encouraged by
anybody. It is abominable but you should know that these are the people
you cannot control,” he said.
Yusuf lamented the defeat of two members
of the House of Representatives from the state by the PDP, saying it
would affect the joint projects being undertaken by all the National
Assembly members from the state.
