He said no reason has been given for the unlawful occupation of the venue of the event, and “the APC Osun Chapter seriously condemns the closure of the democratic space against the people of State.”
Oyatomi added that more worrisome is the concealment of the identities of the supposed security agents some of whom wore masks and threatened to shoot those who had arrived early for the programme.


Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to reduce the level of hatred and bitterness among Nigerians, if the government was actually interested in resolving the problem of insurgency.  
The governor, who made this known in an interview with Vanguard at the weekend in his office, also accused the President of running a government based on ethnic sentiment and religious bigotry.
 
 
He blamed bad leadership being experienced in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) -led government for the reason behind the insecurity currently bedevilling the country, adding that the inability of the commander in chief to curb it was a display of Jonathan’s incompetence to rule the country.

“Now, they are just using propaganda. Look at the issue of the abduction of Chibok girls. The schoolgirls have been in captivity and they kept arguing — where are the names, who are they, where are the photographs; they didn’t believe that over 200 children were abducted. Haba! Even if it is 20 tortoise or goats! Won’t you look for them? One of the reasons I love this country is that we have people of integrity in all the regions, in all the states like my former colleague, former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili,” he said.
 
Kwankwaso, who acknowledged that the country was in a critical situation, noted that if insecurity is not halted, it would become the order of the day, where innocent people will be killed on a daily bases.
 
 
“What Nigeria requires now is a strong leadership that can effectively tackle the insurgency in the North-East, and other topical security challenges,” he said.
 
Kwankwaso suggested that one major way to restore normalcy in the northern part of the country was to draw out a Marshal Plan for the region, and urged President Jonathan to stamp his feet as the Commander –In-Chief of the Armed Forces, to tackle this security issue.
