Governor Ademola Adeleke has hailed the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Bola Oyebamiji over his call for peace in Osun State after his visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
A statement on Friday by the governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, noted that Adeleke described the peace advocacy as a positive tone after weeks of heated campaigning and the election season.
The governor who also met with President Tinubu on Thursday, stressed that the peace advocacy by the APC candidate is a good development for the Osun people who experienced trauma and violence in the last two months ahead of the last Saturday elections.
According to the statement, “while noting the call for restraints by all political parties, the governor reviewed the pre-election climate of fear and conflict and indicated that his team has never subscribed to violence as a weapon of political campaign even when under severe pressure in the countdown to the elections.
“The governor who recounted the pain he passed through to restrain his supporters from retaliating against attacks said Accord lost 15 members with 20 injured and scores in police detention.
I’m forever a man of peace. It’s heartwarming that my brother, Oyebamiji, is also preaching peace. I assure him that my supporters have not and will not attack APC members.
“Elections have come and gone and we’re all winners. The common task for us all is to sustain delivery of democratic dividends and good governance to the good people of Osun state. I welcome Mr. Gboyega Oyetola, Bola Oyebamiji and other opposition leaders to join hands with me to take Osun to greater heights. We are all important stakeholders in this Osun project.” Adeleke said.
