The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has condemned the rising political tension in Osun State ahead of the Aug. 15 governorship election. Oba Ogunwusi condemned the situation while receiving Prof. Joash Amupitan, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). “There is political tension in the state and, truth be told, the tension is becoming unbearable for us. “This election is significant, not only for Osun State, but also as a major test ahead of the 2027 general elections,” he said. Amupitan urged political parties and members of the public to rely only on official information from INEC and avoid spreading unverified claims capable of heightening political tension.
