“We’re also calling the residents of the state to act in good conduct, to only exercise their civic rights and not engage in any form of violence.

“Finally, we commend the Osun State Police Command under the present CP Elections, Peter Abayomi Oladipo for the arrests recently made. We urge the command to ensure diligent investigation and prosecution of culprits.”
