Hands Off Politics: Let Police Probe Ikire Killing Thoroughly — Osun APC Slams Accord Party

The Governorship Election Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has cautioned the state chapter of the Accord Party to desist from politicising the death of a fellow human being in circumstances that are yet to be unraveled by the police and other statutory security agencies in the state.



It is uncharitable, reckless, and deeply insensitive for elements within the campaign structure of the re-election bid of Governor Ademola Adeleke to engage in what appears to be deliberate political exploitation of a tragic incident, in a desperate attempt to malign opponents and sway public sentiment.

This consistent resort to misinformation and false narratives aimed at the innocent people of the state is capable of undermining the peace and stability Osun State currently enjoys.

The attempt to link the death of a young man, Mr. Eluyera Kolade, allegedly said to be the son of the Accord Party Women Leader in Irewole Local Government Area, to members of our party is not only frivolous but also malicious and unfounded. Violence and brigandage have never been the hallmark of the APC at any level.

While we sincerely commiserate with the family of the deceased over this painful loss, we strongly urge the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the incident, with a view to ensuring that anyone found culpable is brought to justice.

We also call on the Accord Party in Osun State to cooperate fully with security agencies rather than engaging in inflammatory rhetoric that could jeopardize the peace and integrity of the investigative process.

Our governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), remains a gentleman of proven integrity who has no record or inclination toward violence, nor does desperation exist in his political philosophy.

The Accord Party in Osun State, which appears increasingly confused and politically stranded ahead of the 2026 elections, has continued to manufacture allegations in a bid to gain relevance and sympathy in the face of inevitable electoral defeat.

This pattern of baseless accusations is not new, as similar claims made recently against members of our party regarding an alleged assassination plot against Mr. Adebayo Adeleke (B-Red) were thoroughly investigated and found to be false by security agencies.

We also recall the unfortunate history of violence in Ikire, where political thugs allegedly associated with factions of the opposition were linked to the killing of Hon. Remi Abass, the reinstated APC Chairman of Irewole Local Government Area.

We wish to state unequivocally that the political ambition of our candidate is not worth the blood of any citizen. The APC remains committed to peaceful, issue-based, and democratic engagement.

The Accord Party is advised to return to the drawing board and present ideas to the electorate rather than manufacturing falsehoods against a candidate who is steadily gaining the confidence of the people of Osun State ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election.

This latest attempt to mislead the public will, as always, amount to nothing.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
