The Director-General of the Osun West Governorship Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress, Dotun Babayemi, has appealed to residents of the state to participate peacefully in the August 15 governorship election.

Babayemi, in a statement issued on Sunday by his Media Office and obtained in Osogbo, urged voters to support the APC governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, for what he described as a transformational change in the state.

He specifically appealed to voters and other stakeholders to avoid bloodshed and the wanton destruction of lives and property during the election.

“The task before all of us is to choose a new governor and this we can do peacefully through our votes without maiming, killings or destroying property. This becomes instructive because of the fact that regardless of our political differences, we remain members of the same family bonded by a common heritage called Osun State. The fact remains: elections will come and go, but our state will continue to remain.”
