The Osun Masterminds, a socio-political group, has carpeted the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over its recent attack on the group.
The group, in a statement signed by its Executive Director, Prof. Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli, described the PDP's attack as "unfortunate" and "uncouth," saying that it was coming from a party that was "obviously unexposed" to the issues of public engagement.
The group said that its attention had been drawn to a release by one Ayodeji Areola, who unfortunately holds the office of Publicity Secretary of Osun State PDP.
"We say unfortunately because we think that before a person is allowed to hold such an office that directly deals with the public image of the party, such a person should first have been certified stable mentally, emotionally, and otherwise. The image maker of a ruling party should have a firmer grip on issues of public engagement and not be this uncouth, obviously unexposed gutter dweller," the group said.
The Osun Masterminds said that it would not engage the PDP in its "gutter politics," but would rather focus on engaging the Osun State Government on the issues it raised in its October State of the State address.
"For the records, the issues we raised in our October State of the State address directly concern ONLY the State Government and not some busybodies trying to impress the government by rolling in gutters. We only will engage the government going forward and not lackeys like Ayodeji," the group said.
The group also called on the Osun State Government to furnish the public with details of the sustainability plan for its 100 billion Naira Infrastructure programme.
"It is a duty the Adeleke government owes the people and it cannot become too arrogant to discharge it," the group said.
The group also said that it was awaiting "decorous, sane and intelligent engagement" from the state government.
