The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) chairman, Yusuf Dantalle has cried out over the increased violence in Osun State ahead of the August 15 governorship election. He urged politicians to desist from election violence, warning that they cannot kill the same people they are seeking to govern. “It is unacceptable to harm the people you intend to govern,” he said. Dantalle also warned against the use of state institutions to intimidate political opponents. It could be a foreshadowing of what we may encounter in the 2027 elections,” Dantalle warned.
