The candidate of the Zenith Labour Party, in the forthcoming Osun State governorship poll, Olufemi Adesuyi, has cautioned politicians in the state against shielding criminals behind the recent rise in the cases of extrajudicial killings.
Adesuyi, who condemned the killings, said politicians should not, due to their ambition continue to shed the blood of the residents.
The ZLP candidate, who made this known in a statement he personally signed and made available to journalists in Osogbo on Wednesday, expressed concerns over the political violence and called on the perpetrators to desist from acts that can plunge the state into bigger crises.
“The trend of these killings, if left unchecked, will threaten the peace and democratic values in this state. That will definitely affect the credibility of the forthcoming August 15 gubernatorial election. Politics should be a contest of ideas and service, not a do-or-die affair that puts lives at risk.
