As the Osun State August 15 governorship election takes place within two weeks, candidates of major political parties have been evading public debates.
Recall that a debate organised by the BBC Yoruba Organisation held online on Friday evening was not attended by both Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party and the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Oyebamiji.
Similarly, the governorship debate organised by the broadcast stations in the state under the aegis of Osun Media Governorship Debate was cancelled by the organisers, partly due to the “reluctance of governorship candidates” to attend.
The event, which was supposed to be attended physically and scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, was later called off after the major candidates refused to show up.
