The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has accused the state government of making disturbing moves that could create fresh tension and cause unrest at local government councils across the state.
The chairman of the APC in Osun, Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement on Sunday, called on the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC, the police and other relevant security agencies to be more proactive in protecting lives and property across Osun State.
The statement, signed by the Director of Media, Kola Olabisi, stressed that security agencies must remain neutral, professional and impartial, insisting that the safety of citizens must never be determined by political affiliation.
Lawal called for increased security around local government secretariats, motor parks and other sensitive locations across the state.
He urged security agencies to act on credible intelligence and prevent any planned attack before it occurs.
He also cautioned political actors against provocative statements and actions capable of escalating tensions in the state.
The APC chairman maintained that political differences should be resolved through dialogue, constitutional means and, where necessary, the courts, rather than through intimidation, violence or the unlawful use of force.
Lawal warned that the peace of Osun must not be sacrificed for political interests, stressing that the state belongs to all its citizens and not to any individual or political party.
He called on Governor Ademola Adeleke to demonstrate responsible leadership by reducing political tension, protecting opposition members and ensuring that government institutions and security agencies are not used as instruments of political persecution.
“Osun people are watching. This is the time for responsible leadership, not revenge politics. No political victory is worth the blood, freedom or property of any citizen,” the APC chairman said.
