Rufai Oseni Raises Violence Concerns Ahead of Osun Governorship Election

Arise Television anchor Rufai Oseni has raised concerns about possible violence ahead of the Osun State governorship election. He said the outcome could be heavily shaped by what he described as the Federal Government’s influence. Oseni said Governor Ademola Adeleke would need a “miracle” to retain power under those conditions. He also alleged that some people had been injured in incidents connected to the election. He added that the presence of a strong third candidate, alongside federal influence, could weaken Adeleke’s chances based on past election patterns.

It is worrying that attention is already on possible violence rather than voters freely choosing their preferred candidate.

Federal influence may matter, but it should not be treated as the only factor shaping an election outcome in Osun.

Security agencies, party leaders, and electoral officials should communicate early and clearly about peaceful conduct and consequences for violence.
