Questions Requesting Answers On Attack On TOP’s Secretariat – By Kola Olabisi

The last Wednesday’s attack on the Centre For Hostility Against Oyetola(CFHAO), Osogbo, Osun State, stylishly christened Oranmiyan House which houses a self-styled set of political gangsters called The Osun Progressives(TOP) within the state APC chapter, is condemnable if the make-believe scenario pushed to the public by the devilish handlers of the political renegades is real.

My instinct tells me that some questions need to be answered by whoever is qualified to so do on the said attack of the property of the Interior Minister, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, who is the self-confessed patron of the group which is pungently and brazenly antagonistic to the administration of Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s administration.

For instance, while it is not my intention to frustrate or jeopardize the investigative efforts of the police to get to the root of the matter, it however, won’t be an overstatement if the timing of the said attack is subjected to being a suspect.

Why was it that it was the very moment the duly elected chairman of the Osun State chapter of the APC was being inaugurated along with his colleagues from the other states in the federation at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja for another four years that the so-called TOP haven was attacked?

If the intention of the attackers was to kill and maim the TOP members, why was it that it was after the said meeting that the attackers struck?

A security matter is supposed to be a 24-hour duty. Where went the security officers saddled with the responsibility of protecting and safeguarding the building at the time of the attack?

Who is the aggrieved party between the government and the self-styled TOP members and leaders?

Could it be possible for a tendency which is relishing in the joy of having a court ruling in its favour to so contemplate attacking any individual or body that was busy licking its wound?

In the Muslim faith, is it possible for an Imam to hanker after another religious post when Allah has been so kind to him to lead?

What then are we talking about? Who did the video recording of the attack? Were the said attackers so kind, naive or inexperienced to the extent of submitting themselves for video recording?

The whole scenario appeared like a dangerous political propaganda srategem skillfully orchestrated to curry the sympathy of the group that lost the court ruling designed to play down the media reportage of two spectacular events concerning Osun State in far away Abuja on the day in question.

For instance, why was it that the suspected TOP theatrical show of shame was stupidly acted on the very day and moment that the inauguration of Prince Gboyega Famodun was being done with fanfare as the recognised/elected Osun State APC chairman for another four years.

The epoch-making event was followed by the submission of the duly-signed governorship nomination form with fanfare also in Abuja by the talk-and-do Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

It won’t take discerning minds a long time to suspect and subsequently submit that It was the desperation of the TOP think-tank to be in the news for negative reasons that engendered and culminated into the suspicious self-propelled attack on the Aregbesola Campaign Office while Prince Famodun was being inaugurated.

If indeed the agitations of TOP handlers are not self-serving and their intent is not to deliberately constitute a stumbling block to the Osun APC, they should retrace their political footsteps and humbly add a capital ‘S’ to their acronym to make it ‘STOP’ henceforth.

Any alternative route in this regard is an express way to political perdition. Period.
