Oyo APC Candidate Alli Demands Action on Attack Incidents

Senator Sharafadeen Alli, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Oyo State, has urged security agencies to investigate alleged attacks on his wife, Mrs Tawakalitu Alli, and two other party candidates, Remi Oseni and Folake Olunloyo-Oshinlowo, in Ibadan. The incidents reportedly occurred on Wednesday during a program at Ibikunle Palace, where Mrs Alli was attacked, while Oseni and Olunloyo-Oshinlowo faced separate assaults in the city on the same day.

In a statement signed by Bisi Oladele, the Director of Alli’s campaign organization, the candidate condemned the attacks as unwarranted and barbaric. He called on the Oyo State Government and security agencies to protect residents and prevent further political violence, emphasizing that Governor Makinde, as the chief security officer of the state, has a responsibility to ensure the safety of all residents, regardless of their political affiliations.

Alli urged for the identification and prosecution of those responsible for the violence.
