Adeleke requested credible poll, didn't attack Tinubu - Campaign council

By Shina Abubakar Osogbo

The Imole Campaign Council has disclosed that Governor Ademola Adeleke’s clarion call on President Bola Tinubu was misrepresented, saying the governor did not attack the President.

In a statement issued by the campaign council’s Director-General, Senator Lere Oyewumi, on Tuesday, he said the governor only prevailed on the President to intervene in the killing and maiming of Accord members in the state as the “father of all”.

“Governor Adeleke only called the attention of President Tinubu to the ongoing repression and intimidation of Osun residents and urged the President to call the Marine Minister, Gboyega Oyetola, to order so as to stop recurrence of political violence of the past.

“The state governor only informed the president of constant killing that is driving towards genocide. The Accord party has lost seven members, with more than 20 suffering various gun injuries in the last three months. Presently, more than 60 Accord members are languishing in illegal police detentions.
