Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has warned President Bola Tinubu that the people of the state will not tolerate any form of rigging in the forthcoming governorship election.

Speaking at a campaign rally in a video, Adeleke declared that residents would turn out en masse to vote and would defend their ballots to prevent any manipulation.

As the Chief Security Officer of the state, he said he bears the responsibility of protecting Osun. He accused the police of being compromised and lamented ongoing killings in the state.

“President Tinubu, I’m passing this message to you, what do you want Osun State to do? We have endorsed you, what more do you want us to do? Why have we done that they are killing us? The police have been compromised, let them go and confront kidnappers,” Adeleke said.

“President Tinubu, I’m using this period to tell you, I’m the Chief Security Officer of Osun State, and I’m passing this message to you that Osun will not accept any rigging, we will go out en masse to vote and defend our votes.”

The governor cautioned against a repeat of past political crises during the August 15 election.

“I repeat, let’s not allow what happened in 1993 to repeat itself. President Tinubu, Osun people and Accord Party has endorsed you as our presidential candidate, why are we suffering? Why is our money being kept? Oyetola needs to be called to order, people are just being killed, the blood of the innocent will cry out,” he added.
