Adeleke Welcomes Oyebamiji's Peace Call in Osun
Ademola Adeleke, the Governor of Osun State, welcomed the peace advocacy by Bola Oyebamiji, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, following Oyebamiji's visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Adeleke described Oyebamiji's call for peace as a “positive tone” after a period of tension leading up to the August 15 governorship election.
He urged all political party members to exercise restraint, reflecting on the violence and trauma experienced in the two months before the election. Adeleke stated that his administration does not endorse violence and recounted the losses suffered by his political camp, including 15 members of the Accord Party lost and 20 injured, with several supporters detained by police.
He assured Oyebamiji that his supporters would not retaliate against APC members. Adeleke called for unity among political actors to focus on governance and the development of Osun State, inviting Oyebamiji and other opposition leaders to collaborate for the state's progress.
