It is now evident that the Osun APC, having failed to unseat Governor Ademola Adeleke through constitutional channels, has resorted to violence and the killing of innocent citizens.

The recent escalation of political violence in Osun is a threat to us all. The loss of innocent lives has no place in a civil society. Democracy cannot thrive where citizens live in fear.

The Osun APC must come to terms with a simple political reality. Elections are won through the confidence of the people and not through violence. The people of Osun State have become politically conscious, and no amount of political desperation can substitute for public trust.

If the Osun APC believes it has earned the confidence of the electorate, it should present its programmes, defend its past record, and submit itself to the judgment of the people. Democracy demands persuasion, not coercion. Political parties should compete with ideas, policies, and performance, not with conduct that threatens public peace and safety.

The Inspector General of Police and all security agencies must know that every citizen, regardless of political affiliation, must be guaranteed equal protection under the law. There must be no room for selective enforcement or impunity.

The people of Osun have demonstrated time and again that they cannot be intimidated. When the governorship election is held, it is the ballot that will determine the future of our state, not bullets, not fear, and not violence.
