Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, on Saturday set politics aside as they attended the Fidau prayer for the late Sidikat Basiru, mother of the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, in Osogbo.

The prayer, held at Fakunle Comprehensive High School, Osogbo, attracted prominent political figures from across party lines, but the presence of Adeleke and Oyebamiji, who are expected to face each other in the August 15 governorship election, became the highlight of the event.

Photographs and videos from the gathering, which circulated on social media, showed Adeleke and Oyebamiji exchanging pleasantries, drawing admiration from many attendees.

The two politicians have maintained a frosty relationship since emerging as governorship candidates of their respective parties, frequently trading criticisms over governance and political issues.
