The recently elected governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has cautioned his supporters and well-wishers against using violence.
The former lawmaker issued a warning to those who were jubilant at his triumph, telling them to act with decency or risk losing their place in his political family.
Recall that on Sunday, Adeleke was proclaimed the victor of the just-completed Osun governorship election.
All around the nation, his admirers and supporters have been jubilant.
However, some of the revelers are alleged to have used violence against opponents’ party participants.
In a statement released in response, Adeleke distanced himself and his political party from the alleged violent behavior of some youth in the state who were reportedly celebrating his election as governor-elect. Adeleke was represented by Mallam Olawale Rasheed.
“It has come to the attention of the Governor-Elect that some youth are engaging in violent celebrations, leading to isolated attacks on vehicles and even individuals. This is unacceptable conduct and those involved in such behaviour are warned to stop forthwith.
“While commiserating with any victim of such incident, the Adeleke Campaign Organisation Is hereby informing the general public that it did not authorise any such demonstration and those involved are definitely not part of the Adeleke Campaign Organisation,” he said.
