The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the petition of a member of the Accord Party in the state to the American Ambassador in Nigeria, alleging the party’s campaign Director General, Hon. Wole Oke of stoking violence as baseless, frivolous and a misuse of forum.
It would be recalled that a member of the Accord Party who is eyeing Oke’s seat in the House of Representatives, Pelumi Olajengbesi, petitioned the American Embassy in a letter dated 9th April, 2026, alleging that the APC gubernatorial candidate’s campaign Director used some language capable of brewing violence in the state.
But the APC in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, a copy obtained by OSUN DEFENDER on Sunday, said Oke only made a harmless political statement, adding that the petition against the campaign DG can neither sit nor fly.
“Whoever might have been painstakingly watching the constant tantrums of this member against the D-G of the AMBO Campaign Committee would not agree less that he has been waging a needless war against the affable and pragmatic lawmaker whose conduct both as a private and public office holder has qualified him not only as a resourceful representative of his constituency in Obokun/Oriade in particular but a worthy ambassador of the nation in general.

“He should go back to the drawing board and inform his sponsors that this latest option of petitioning the American Embassy over a harmless political statement made by the campaign D-G can neither sit nor fly.
“For education and enlightenment, Nigeria is a sovereign state and where any person is reasonably suspected to have committed any offence known to the law, the appropriate channel to address it is the law enforcement agencies but not to a foreign diplomat.
“Therefore, the petition is nothing but a display of crass ignorance, lack of education and necessary knowledge,” he said.
