Hausa community commends Gov. Oyetola for peaceful atmosphere in OsunThe Hausa community in Osun has commended Gov. Gboyega Oyetola for providing them an enabling environment to live in peace and do their businesses without hindrances. The community at a news conference on Wednesday in Osogbo said they had no fear to live and transact businesses in any part of the State as a result of the responsible leadership of the governor. Alhaji Umar Kotonkoro, Spokesperson for the community, said the governor had shown that it was possible for political leaders in Nigeria to downplay ethnicity and religion in governance as well as in resources distribution despite ethnic complexity in Nigeria. Kotonkoro said Oyetola had shown humility, tolerance and accommodation in leadership that had earned him a second term in their heart and soul. “As Hausa community, we have enjoyed unprecedented business patronage from Gov. Oyetola, apart from swift responses to security issues that have to do with the protection of our businesses, life and property in all parts of the state. “We have no fear to live and transact businesses in any part of the state as a result of the responsible leadership of the governor”. “However, the view expressed by one Imam Basir, a former Senior Special Assistant to former Gov. Rauf Aregbesola, that Hausa Community in the state were supporting a splinter group within All Progressives Party to slim the chance of Gov. Gboyega Oyetola, for second term were his personal view. “ We decided to alert the whole world and the entire Hausa community about this false impression and lies not to allow it to fester for so long because culturally and religiously we are not known for double standard and political inconsistency. “We are bold to say that such position in a trending video of Imam Bashir only represents his personal opinion which does not in any way represent the reality and position of Hausa Community in Osun. “Imam Bashur is only pursing his personal political agenda, which in our own opinion is to the detriment of Hausa community that has enjoyed tremendous support from the current administration. “We say equivocally that we have strong confidence in the administration of Governor Oyetola and we shall continue to rally support for him till and after the July 16, 2022 election, when we are so confident that he will be declared victorious,” Kotonkoro said.(NAN)

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
