Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a previous member of the Osun State House of Assembly, is facing criticism following the emergence of a video online. The footage shows him speaking to his followers in the lead-up to the Osun governorship contest scheduled for August 15.
The clip has gained significant attention across social media platforms. In it, Oyintiloye appears to urge his supporters to use aggressive tactics against opposing political factions, causing alarm among the public and political analysts. This incident arrives as local residents grow increasingly worried about the potential for violence during the electoral process.
Both security forces and independent election observers have highlighted the escalation of political friction within the state. Consequently, civil society organizations and various political figures are intensifying their calls for calm. They urge all groups to reject hostility and ensure that citizens can cast their ballots safely and without pressure.
