A lawyer and spokesman for the Imole Campaign Council, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has criticised the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, for failing to attend the Peace Accord meeting held ahead of the August 15 governorship election.

In a statement issued on Friday on his Facebook account, Olajengbesi described Oyebamiji’s absence from the meeting convened by the National Peace Committee as “a demonstration of disregard for the people of Osun State and the democratic process.”

According to him, the date of the meeting had been communicated months in advance, making the APC candidate’s decision to attend a campaign rally in Iwo instead of the peace meeting difficult to justify.

“It was expected that every candidate would personally attend such an important event, given the recent incidents of electoral violence in the state,” Olajengbesi said.
