As the campaign for the August 15 governorship election in Osun State gathers fresh momentum, Governors Monday Okpebholo of Edo State, Ahmed Usman Ododo of Kogi State; Minister of Works, David Umahi; and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, have urged the people of the state to reject Governor Ademola Adeleke and elect the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji.
This is just as the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 2 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Auwalu Mahmuda, has directed troops deployed for the governorship election to remain professional, politically neutral and strictly adhere to the Code of Conduct guiding military participation in election security operations.
