Osun poll: Adeleke campaign spokesman withdraws remarks against Okpebholo

Pelumi Olajengbesi, spokesman for Ademola Adeleke's campaign, has withdrawn remarks made against Edo Governor Monday Okpebholo following disagreements over the Osun election.

The Osun election had seen controversy, with some viewing the outcome as an endorsement of Adeleke due to group self-interest, particularly among civil servants.

There was also an incident where Governor Adeleke's convoy came under attack at the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo. According to the Police Public Relations Officer in Osun, Abiodun Ojelabi, preliminary investigations revealed that the attackers were targeting music star Davido, who is Governor Adeleke's nephew and had been actively involved in the election.
