The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in last Saturday’s Osun State governorship election, Bola Oyebamiji, met with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday.
His visit comes after incumbent Governor, Ademola Adeleke of Accord Party, who won the election, paid the President a visit and presented his Certificate of Return to him.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, Oyebamiji called for peace among political actors in Osun State, saying that the APC is still reviewing the outcome of the election.
He said Tinubu advised him to approach the situation with a peaceful mindset.
According to him, Nigerians must understand that government is about the people, and for that reason, peace must be prioritised.
“I met with the President, and what he said was that the most important thing is to run every election with a peaceful mind.
“It is important for us Nigerians to know that government is about the people, and because of that, it is important that we should be peaceful. I want to appeal to our people in Osun that they need to be peaceful,” Oyebamiji said.
”Some of my supporters were still attacked this morning. I call on the governor to call his people to order,” the APC candidate added.
He further stated that the party is still examining the circumstances surrounding the election, and will make its position known to the public in due course.
The APC candidate equally charged Governor Adeleke to call his supporters to order and prevent violence.
