‘Osun Is Bleeding, Don’t Allow Oyetola to Ruin Your Name’, Adeleke Tells Tinubu Ahead of Guber Poll
The Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has urged President Bola Tinubu to call the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, to order so that he does not ruin his name, saying that the state is bleeding.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Olorunda Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday, Adeleke appealed to President Tinubu to intervene in political activities in the state ahead of the August 15, 2026, governorship election.
“Osun is bleeding, and our people will not be intimidated. His intervention is needed, the loss of innocent lives in Osun must stop. All we are asking for is simply a free and fair election,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
He urged the President to act as the father of the nation and help safeguard the democracy he fought for.
The governor reminded Tinubu that the 2027 general elections are also around the corner.
“And he should not allow his nephew, Mr. Oyetola, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, to ruin his name and the democracy he fought for alongside many others,” he appealed.
Adeleke prayed that Nigeria would never witness an incident like the political violence of 1983, particularly in the South-West.
He further stated that democracy works when people freely choose their leaders, describing this as a reasonable expectation for the people of Osun State.
