Osun West Monarchs Urge Peace Ahead of Elections
On Thursday, traditional rulers in the Osun West senatorial district, including the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdurosheed Akanbi, prayed for President Bola Tinubu for approving the Osogbo-Iwo-Ibadan and Osogbo-Akoda-Gbongan road projects. They expressed gratitude to former governor and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, for facilitating these approvals.
The monarchs issued a warning to political actors in Osun state to refrain from thuggery and violence as the August 15 governorship election approaches. Oba Akanbi emphasized that no political office is worth the life of any citizen, urging all political aspirants and their supporters to seek peace rather than engage in conflict.
He reminded the audience of the dangers of past electoral violence and warned of spiritual repercussions for those who perpetrate political violence.
