On Thursday, August 10, 2023, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North Senatorial District, addressed a mega rally in Osogbo, Osun State, organized by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support its governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji. Oshiomhole emphasized that the APC seeks votes, not violence, ahead of the governorship election scheduled for August 15, 2023.

He stated, “We are a party of peace,” urging voters to utilize their Permanent Voter Cards to influence the election outcome. Oshiomhole also highlighted President Bola Tinubu's contributions to Nigeria's democratic development and reiterated the party's commitment to a peaceful electoral process.
