ABUJA: The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has told Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, to stop blaming President Bola Tinubu and immediate past governor Adegboyega Oyetola for his political troubles, urging him instead to run an issue-based campaign ahead of the August 15 governorship election.
National Secretary of the APC, Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, gave the charge in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, reacting to comments Adeleke made at a campaign rally accusing Tinubu and Oyetola of being responsible for developments working against him in the state.
The Osun governor had alleged that extrajudicial killings were taking place in the state and warned of a repeat of the 1983 political crisis should he lose the election.
“President Bola Tinubu, something is happening in Osun that you have not moved to put an end to. They are killing our people. You are the President; you are the father for all of us. Osun has said they won’t allow rigging,” Adeleke said, adding, “Remember what happened in 1983. It started in Yorubaland. When they cheated Bola Ige and Ajasin. Osun will not agree. We want a free and fair election.”
