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

Adeleke declared that the people of the state would go out en masse to cast their votes and would defend it to avoid rigging.

Addressing his followers yesterday during a campaign rally in a video, Adeleke said as the Chief Security Officer of the state, he is saddled with the responsibility of protecting the state.

He accused the police of being compromised, while lamenting killings in the state.

According to Adeleke: “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.

“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.”

Adeleke warned Tinubu not to allow a repeat of the 1993 incident during the August 15 governorship election in the state.

“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.
