The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has declared his administration will condone no space for sponsors of violence and war mongers in the state.
He made this known during his town hall meetings at Ifon, Ilobu, and Erin-Osun on Friday, in a move engineered to de-escalate violence and ensure peace building among the warring communities.
The Governor in a statement through his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed told the different communities that he has identified several factors responsible for the constant confrontations among them, namely lack of trust among the community leaders, non- existence of inter-communal peace structures, involvement of criminal elements and infiltration by external forces from within and outside the state.
“I am here to preach peace as a condition for development and better lives for our people. I am here to warn that there is no room for war mongers and sponsors of violence. It is in everybody’s interest for peace to reign permanently in these communities.
“If you don’t know, your needless confrontations are scaring investors away from Osun. Don’t allow yourself to become agents of under-development. Let us jaw-jaw instead of war.
“I charge you all to sheath your swords and embrace dialogue. Instead of blood shedding and destruction of properties, why not join hands to build a prosperous society. Our administration will reinforce and sustain peace at all costs. Join the Imole peace move now”, the Governor reiterated, to the cheering applause of community leaders and residents.
The Governor further told the local leaders and the communities that he is committed to the implementation of the resolutions reached at the stakeholders’ meeting and challenged all signatories to abide by the conclusions.
