He also advised the South-West governors to come out in clear terms and speak with one voice on their opposition to any pro-Fulani policy in the geopolitical zone. Bolarinwa said, “We sympathise with our foremost leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, over the death of his daughter, Mrs Funke Olakunrin. Her death is indeed shocking and sad. It has also strengthened our position that Nigeria is in a precarious security situation.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army, on Tuesday, pledged to assist the Osun State Government to continue to remain one of the safest states in the country. He requested the Army chief to allow the participation of soldiers in a combined security patrol team being raised to battle insecurity in the state.
