In a statement released by Tiamiyu Olamide, the Chief Press Secretary to the Osun speaker, Adewale Egbedun, Adewale said that the attack on Governor Adeleke is an attack on the entirety of Osun people.
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, was attacked at the Osogbo Eid praying ground yesterday. Fortunately, he was able to escape unharmed.
Adewale has called for security agencies to ensure they capture the suspected political thugs ordered to execute the attack.
The statement reads, “What happened on the Eid praying ground today was terrifying and disturbing. Never did I ever contemplate that anyone would be so audacious to the point of attacking a sitting Governor on a ground considered for the worship of Allah."
He continued by saying, "The attack on Governor Adeleke, who happens to be the leader of this state, is an overreach, and I strongly condemn it in its totality. Going all out against the Governor is by extension an attack on the entirety of Osun people, who he’s leading, and this I want to warn will not be tolerated at all.
Trying to exert the pain of losing, which today’s attack clearly represents, is a big miscalculation and will continue to stand as an albatross in your subsequent political journey."
