Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has urged politicians to embrace peaceful electioneering strategies as the nation prepares for next month genera
A release by his spokesperson Mallam Olawale Rasheed claimed that violent activities including vandalisation of campaign posters and billboards increased in the last five days after former Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s return to the state because he openly preached revolt against state authorities.
Adeleke who was said to have spoken while receiving leaders of thought from Osun state on Friday evening condemned the increasingly disruptive nature of campaigns in some areas of the state, particularly the vandalisation of billboards and posters. Reacting, Oyetola’s media aide, Ismail Omipidan, said the allegation was not only mischievous but wicked, adding that the government is only intimidated by the arrival of his principal in the state after vacation.
Omipidan challenged the State Government to name just one violent incident that had taken place around Oyetola since Monday when he returned to Osun from his vacation adding that the PDP and the current Governor’s penchant for violence is well known. However, Adeleke called on politicians and their supporters to remain peaceful adding that they should imbibe the culture of harmonious campaign devoid of thuggery and untoward activities.
