The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun has described the attack on Governor Ademola Adeleke at the Osogbo Eid prayer ground on

Egbedun, while condemning the attack on Adeleke by suspected political thugs, also called on security agencies to go after the perpetrators behind the dastardly act.

“What happened on the Eid praying ground today was terrifying and disturbing. Never did I ever contemplate that anyone would be so audacious to the point of attacking a sitting Governor on a ground considered for the worship of Allah. “Trying to exert the pain of losing, which today’s attack clearly represents, is a big miscalculation and will continue to stand as an albatross in your subsequent political journey,” he stated.

While cautioning Senator Ajibola Basiru to watch his conduct, Bisi urged the police to stand up to the dangerous situation as it is capable of pushing the state into a chaotic edge.
