With days to the August 15 governorship election in Osun State, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, popularly known as AMBO, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to remain impartial.

Speaking with journalists in Lagos, the former Commissioner for Finance and immediate past Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority denied that his party was behind recent violence in the state. He also unveiled his development blueprint, the Prosperity Agenda.

 He states, we have documented several politically motivated attacks on our members.

Those cases remain before the courts. We have lost no fewer than 25 members to politically related violence since the crisis preceding the 2022 election.

The Inspector-General of Police visited Osun and publicly alleged that individuals linked to criminal activities were being harboured in Government House.

Reports also emerged of a suspected criminal arrested at the residence of the Secretary to the State Government.

Our members were reportedly attacked in Ede. Rather than politicising insecurity, government should ensure all perpetrators are prosecuted. I appeal to INEC and the security agencies to remain neutral and professional.
