The Osun Development Association (ODA) yesterday hosted the Osun 2026 Democratic Governance, Peace and Electoral Integrity Summit, a high-level civic intervention designed to steer the state’s political discourse toward issue-based campaigning and away from rising tension, ahead of the August governorship election.

At the occasion, Osun State Governor, Governor Ademola Adeleke, called for peaceful election, saying violence would not be tolerated in whatever form.

The governor who was represented by his Deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, stressed that the government is working seriously with all security agencies to ensure free, fair credible and acceptable election devoid of violence.
