Oyintiloye asks parties, candidates to shun violence during Osun election

Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Osun, has called on political parties, candidates, and their supporters to shun violence during the upcoming governorship election. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Oyintiloye made the call while speaking with journalists in Osogbo, urging all stakeholders to maintain peace before, during, and after the August 15 election.

Oyintiloye emphasized that no political ambition is worth the life of any citizen, and stressed the importance of prioritizing the safety and security of residents throughout the election period. He also noted that the deployment of security personnel across Osun should be viewed as a preventive measure rather than a cause for alarm.

The former lawmaker encouraged eligible voters not to allow fear to discourage them from exercising their constitutional right to vote, and urged them to come out in large numbers to cast their ballots.
