• Says Oyinlola against his re-election out of jealousy, declares Friday work-free •Osun is a test, don’t turn election into war, Atiku warns INEC, Tinubu • Senate Leader: voters, not

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is urging all state workers to mobilize relatives and friends to vote on Saturday and defend their votes. In a message to workers, Adeleke praised the labor leadership and workers for supporting his administration, highlighting their mutually beneficial relationship. He claimed that his predecessor, Oyinlola, opposed his re-election due to jealousy, and that Oyinlola resents anyone from the Adeleke family.

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), warned INEC, security agencies, and the Tinubu administration against militarizing the Osun State governorship election or using state institutions for partisan advantage. Meanwhile, the Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, advised all stakeholders in the election to prioritize peaceful and credible polls, stating that voters, not federal might, would decide the winner.

The presidential candidate of Accord Party, Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, cautioned against those inciting violence, warning they may end up at the International Criminal Court. He appealed for the EU to intervene in the state to de-escalate rising political tension ahead of the election.
