The state chairman of the party, Prince Gboyega Famodun made the party's stance known in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Chief Kola Olabisi
Prince Famodun who believed the attack was carried out by thugs working for PDP described it as primitive, barbaric, shameful, dangerous and wicked.
It would be recalled that some suspected political thugs attacked the convoy of Mrs Oyetola yesterday at Owode in Edeland, where they threw stones at the convoy and used other dangerous weapons to effect the attack.
Prince Famodun said it was alarming that some disgruntled politicians could descend so low to the extent of needlessly injecting violence into politics.
Prince Famodun wondered why the hitherto peaceful ancient Edeland could be turned into a perpetual abode of violence where the sacredness of the lives of fellow human beings means nothing to some desperado political power mongers.Osun Attack/PDP Reacts
