THE video evidence of confusion at the Eid Ground Osogbo showed some worshippers scampering for safety over what some called an assassination attempt on the life of the Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

The man at the centre of the crisis was the former Spokesperson of the Senate, Senator Ajibola Bashiru popularly known as SRJ. He was said to have refused vacating the space meant for the Governor at the Prayer Ground.

SRJ said in a statement available to SOJ WORLDWIDE that he did not see Governor Adeleke throughout his presence at the Prayer Ground.  He only noticed that some people whom he could not recognize as the Protocol Officer of the Governor approached him to vacate the position meant for the Governor which he refused.

His refusal attracted some thugs who physically removed his Turban which resulted in the confusion.

Meanwhile, Governor Adeleke has called for calm, he added that he is safe and there was no cause for alarm.
In a Press Release by the Spokesperson of the Governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed available to SOJ WORLDWIDE, he said there was an assassination attempt contrary to what SRJ made people to believe.

"My good people of Osun, I appeal for calm and urge us to continue to celebrate the Sallah festival in peace. I am safe by the special grace of God”, the statement quoted the Governor as saying.

“I have directed security agencies to arrest those behind the incident and get them to face the wrath of the law. The Commissioner of Police has been directed to arrest those involved no matter how highly placed.
The State Government had meanwhile condemned the orchestrated attacks on the Governor by stalwarts of the All Progressives Congress at the praying ground. Members of the public will recall an earlier security alert on an evil plot to destabilize the peace and stability of Osun state.
The government particularly notes with shock and surprise the role played by former Senator Ajibola Bashiru who took over the space reserved for the Governor at the prayer ground. All efforts to get the former Senator to vacate the space proved abortive.

PDP members who agitated for respect for the office of the Governor were beaten up. It was a scene of chaos by the time the Governor arrived for the prayer.
The government was even more shocked that thugs armed to the teeth were spotted all over the praying ground with security information that they were imported to eliminate the Governor and key government functionaries.
The Governor who arrived at the venue hoping to observe the Eid prayers was practically surrounded by armed thugs, prompting security men to ferry the Governor into his jeep.
For the second time, the Governor attempted to enter the praying field but the encirclement by armed thugs was already visible. It was at that point that the Governor had to leave the praying ground.
The Governor is now safely at home receiving guests and leaders from all walks of life."
