Osun Election: Vote boldly, Adeleke urges electorate

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has called on residents to vote boldly and without fear in the August 15 governorship election, assuring them that the people's votes will determine the outcome. Speaking at a rally in Ipetumodu after commissioning the 10.4-kilometer Edunabon–Tonkere Road, Adeleke urged the electorate to resist intimidation. "Do not succumb to intimidation or fear as we head to the election. Go out and cast your vote for me again," he stated. He also appealed to Nigerians and security agencies to defend democracy and ensure a peaceful election, expressing concern over alleged pre-election violence and intimidation. "We must defend democracy. If we truly want to practise democracy, then we must practise it the right way," Adeleke said. Earlier, the governor commissioned the road project, which his administration claims ended over four decades of neglect. He later held a town hall meeting with traditional rulers who praised his commitment to development and fulfilling campaign promises. The Alakinlalu of Akinlalu commended the governor, saying, "When you came and made this promise to us, no one believed you would accomplish what you have done for us today."
