The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy and former Governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola, has condemned the escalating post-election violence and the tragic loss of lives across parts of the state.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser, Dr. Bolaji Akinola, the Minister described the attacks on citizens across the state as a grave assault on the peace, heritage and democratic values of the people of Osun State.
He stressed that no political ambition or commercial interest could ever justify the loss of human life, urging all stakeholders to reject violence and embrace dialogue in resolving disputes.

According to him, politics must be a vehicle for development, not a catalyst for bloodshed. He called on the Osun State Police Command and other security agencies to act decisively to restore order and protect residents, particularly in areas affected by the unrest.
The Minister also urged security agencies to deploy adequate personnel to volatile locations, reclaim public spaces from hoodlums, and ensure that all those responsible for the killings and other acts of violence are swiftly apprehended and brought to justice.
He appealed to residents across the state to prioritise peace and restraint, warning that the progress and prosperity of Osun must not be sacrificed on the altar of political or commercial interests.
While reaffirming his commitment to the peace, security and development of Osun State, Oyetola expressed his deepest condolences to the families of those killed in the violence, urging citizens to work together to preserve the state’s long-standing reputation for civility, enterprise and democratic values.
