Concerns as APC candidate Oyebamiji reveals his supporters were attacked as he meets Tinubu after Osun election loss

‎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.
