Police Security Report Fallout: Oyinlola’s Aides Forged Our Signatures – CNPP Chiefs
Nov 4th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Front Page Story
Another dimension seems to have been introduced to the purported suit instituted by some politicians in Osun State parading themselves as Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) at a Federal High Court in Abuja over the final police security report presented by the Action Congress (AC) flag-bearer in the state, Engineer Rauf Aregbesola at the election petitions tribunal, as three political parties mentioned as signatories as plaintiffs have disowned the suit, alleging forgery of their names and signatures.
Addressing journalists in Osogbo, Osun State capital during the weekend, the trio of Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), Action Party of Nigeria (APN) and Peoples Salvation Party (PSP) have raised alarm that the chairman and secretary of the purported faceless CNPP, Messrs Popoola Olatunji and Kayode Dairo forged the names of their parties coupled with the signatures of the chairmen to push the suit in Abuja.
Speaking on behalf of others, the state chairman of the DPP, Alhaji Rafiu Anifowose explained that the duo of Olatunji and Dairo were politicians, who have no political base, but using the defunct CNPP in the state to draw attention of the embattled Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola with a view to securing appointments in government.
The parties claimed that they were neither consulted nor consented to the suit in which they were made to be signatories by the duo of Oyinlola’s aides, who are still parading themselves as opposition members, noting that the suit was a ploy of the duo of Olatunji and Dairo to con the ruling party in the state, by pledging fake loyalty to the governor, according to the parties.
Anifowose admitted that they (the three political parties) were part of the defunct CNPP before Olatunji and Dairo unveiled their schemes to take appointments from the governor, saying that the over-ambition of the duo finally sounded a death knell on the remnants of the defunct CNPP.
Arguing that the massive withdrawal of the potent political parties from the CNPP, which later formed the Alliance of Collaborating Political Parties (ACPP), had long forced the CNPP to cease functioning, Anifowose said that the suit instituted by the two suspected politicians was an hatchet job for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
According to the parties: “To be specific, Popoola Olatunji who claims to be the chairman of the defunct CNPP in Osun State and his “Man Friday”, Kayode Dairo had formed the repugnant habit of using our names in vain, and especially to draw filthy lucre from the Oyinlola’s government” (sic).
Frowning at the development in Abuja , the parties condemned the inclusion of the names and signatures of the chairmen, saying that they knew nothing about the suit instituted by the duo of Oyinlola’s aides.
“Olatunji and Dairo who were deponents in the Abuja suit, asking that the issue of crisis surrounding the police report to be investigated and resolved before the sitting of the retrial tribunal, simply included our names and signatures without consulting us or had any prior discussion on the matter by the ‘CNPP’ where decision on it could have been taken.”
The parties then aligned with the contents of the police report, saying that the facts stated in the report could not be disputed given the scenario of wanton killings and electoral heists that greeted the flawed 2007 governorship election in the state.
According to the parties: “We are living witnesses to the wanton killings and electoral heists that took place that day. If the contents of the police report had contained anything else, it would have been most unfortunate.”
It would be recalled that some politicians believed to be sponsored by the PDP instituted a suit in an Abuja High Court with a view to stopping the on-going election petition tribunal in Osun State ab initio, using the controversy trailing the security reports tendered by Aregbesola at the Court of Appeal that sat in Ibadan, Oyo State as a smokescreen, before the court threw out the application for exparte injunction they sought on the basis of poor service on the respondents.
However, OSUN DEFENDER learnt that the state government might have caused some security agents to be on the trail of the leadership of the three parties, who addressed the press conference in Osogbo, but our reporter could not confirm the development from any of the three politicians as at the time of filing this story.

E wa wo oju ole loko? Prince of Pieces was using these guys (Thiefs, I mean Chiefs Dairo and Popoola) to intimidate the man of the people, Eng Aregbesola. God will punish all of them. Amen. Ori enieleni, ti ko se ti e nle ki ri, yio da yin le jo. Amin.
E wo awon ebi gbogbo olohunyio yo wa lowo yin Amin.Rauf yio bori yin la gbara olohun
Why can’t peoplle for once submit ti their conscience? why allow personal interest jeopardize general interest? i appeal to Alhaji Anifowose to come out openly to expose all the dirty deals of the so-called CNPP in the interest of the future of Osun state and his name shall be written in gold.
Asese nmu eye bo lapo… The last has not been heard about Osun. Ko seni to le ja Oranmiyan lole gbe. Bi iro ba lo logun odun nko?
Dem go take
Evil that men do dine & wine with them.So its never a new thing that this is happening.Action Congress! victory is ours.
Can you see how God has opened the can of worms.So there is nothing like CNPP in Osun but Oyinlola erand boys.
Glory be to Allah SWT for being our saviour.
Everything about Oyin is forgery and is a master forger himself, no wonder he’s trying to label any genuine public document a fake e. g. police report.. Anyway whatever his devilish machinations is, it will certainly fail and Aregbesola, the trusted and elected people’s hope is victory bound.
