Why I Visited NNPP Chieftain, Olopoeyan – Shina Peller

Hon. Shina Abiola Peller, the lawmaker representing Iseyin/Itwaiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency, has stated that his visit to Oyo New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) chieftain, Alhaji Adebisi Olopoeyan, has nothing to do with the state’s ongoing politicking.

Peller and Olopoeyan were reportedly in a closed-door meeting at the mansion of a political figure in Ibadan, according to ODUDUWA NEWS.

Hon. Shina Peller told the press after the meeting that his visit to Olopoeyan was purely coincidental and had nothing to do with his senatorial ambitions.

” I went to see a political guru, a brother who used to be a close associate of my father while he was alive.

“Though you, Olopoeyan, are a well-respected politician, my visit here today is to pay tribute to a friend of my father’s who has passed away.”

“When asked if he is still contesting for Oyo North senatorial district since his party ticket has been won by the incumbent senator, Fatai Buhari, the lawmaker made an affirmation, saying he will surely contest for Oyo North senatorial district in 2023. In his statement about the meeting held with Oke-Ogun-born politician, Olopoeyan said, Peller’s visit was not about his issue in APC or his party, NNPP.

“I had a good relationship with his father during his lifetime, I and Shina have also built relations before now, he came today to pay an homage, nothing attached to it, presently Shina Peller is in APC, while I am in NNPP, but all the same, I will always wish him well in all his political journey because he is a fantastic young politician that every party wishes for to be a member.

“The frequency of these unfortunate and avoidable provocative incidents is a source of concern to us, as a government. I have, therefore, directed the State Commissioner of Police to investigate the shooting incident and ensure that his officers who were involved in it are identified and punished in accordance with extant regulations and law.

“We must ensure that this kind of sad and barbaric incident does not occur again in our State.

“I wish the Nation Newspaper correspondent, Adedeji, and the other citizen whom I learnt are presently receiving treatment at the hospital, speedy recovery. I am also calling on residents of Osun to remain calm and not take the law into their own hands.
