Osun State Government has said it approved the use of Osogbo Township Stadium for the All Progressives Congress presidential rally holding on Thursday.
In a statement signed by the Spokesperson to the Governor, Olawale Rasheed, obtained on Wednesday the government recalled that the immediate past governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, did not approve such usage for the Peoples Democratic Party when he was in power.
“Consequently, the state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has directed the state police command and the Department of State Services to enforce state directives to ensure peace and tranquility across the state. Additionally, the state governor further directed Osun indigenes to remain peaceful and calm while at the same time warning against any attempt to create conflict,” it further read.
“The APC has imported their agents of deaths. There is likelihood they may engage in fights and brawls. It is important for our people to stay safe, away from the assemblage of evil hands,” the statement concluded. The state acting Chairman of the APC, Mr. Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement also said Adeleke and his party members should know that no amount of undercurrent scheme would secure for him the governorship election having lost his case before the tribunal last Friday.
