Tensions are running high in Osun State as the governorship election draws closer. Amid the political crisis in the state, Governor Ademola Adeleke has urged President Bola Tinubu to call his supporters to order.
The governor also called for a free and fair election, warning that he would not tolerate any attempt to undermine the electoral process.
Adeleke said: “Mr President, I want you to take note of my words, I m the Chief Security officer of Osun, you are a Yoruba man and Osun is Yorubaland, yet, your party chieftains are perpetrating political violence while you look the other way.”
“Mr President, all I demand for is a free and fair election, if anybody try to do otherwise, the political crisis of 1983, when some people tried to rig Michael Ajasin in Ondo State out of power, may repeat itself again.”
“Mr President call your people to order, call police chiefs to order, I am the governor here not any other person. Accord has already endorsed you as it candidate, why are suffering again.”
“You fought for democracy in Nigeria and you must not allow your people destroy it. Wake up to your responsibility Mr President, stop the shenanigans going on in Osun.”
