Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has called on Civil Society Organisations and other stakeholders planning to take part in the national hunger protests to eschew any act capable of undermining the peace and security of the state.

Represented by the Deputy Governor, Mr Kola Adewusi, at the meeting attended by heads of various security organisations in the state, Adeleke, who acknowledged that the protesters have the inalienable right as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to embark on a protest, however, frowned at any act that tends to mortgage the peace and tranquillity of Osun and its people.

The statement quoting the governor further read, “My administration’s commitments, at all times, at making Osun a reference point for other states in Nigeria remains germane.

“I, therefore, implore you to be law-abiding before, during and after the coming nationwide protests, as no act of violence of any kind would be entertained by my administration in Osun State while carrying out your protests.

“In Osun, we are known to be good and peaceful and we should allow that to remain our pride as a state that is always ahead of others in all things that are good and developmental.”

Speaking earlier, Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mr Umar Abba and the Commander,

Engineering Construction Regiment,Ede, Brigadier General Abdul Kareem Aliyu, admonished the protesters to be decorous while carrying out the protests in Osun state.
