OSOGBO — With less than two weeks to the Osun State governorship election, Governor Ademola Adeleke has urged residents not to be intimidated by threats or violence but to come out in large numbers to vote on August 15.

Adeleke made the appeal while addressing worshippers during a church service at Winners’ Chapel, Osogbo, on Sunday.

In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the governor accused the opposition of being responsible for the violence recorded in the state ahead of the election.

According to him, “Because the people have rejected them, because voters have endorsed me, and because defeat stares them in the face, they have resorted to violence. We are not scared. Osun people are not afraid.
