Governor Ademola Adeleke has urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene in Osun State, where politicians are allegedly trying to hijack the ongoing Osun State governorship election.

Adeleke is contesting the election to be re-elected for a second term.

In a statement on Saturday, the Accord Party candidate urged Tinubu to use his good office to issue a clear warning to the heads of security agencies deployed to protect the good people of Osun State and safeguard the integrity of the electoral process.

He added, "Reports of attempts to hijack or disrupt collation centres by desperate and rejected politicians across the state are deeply concerning and unacceptable, particularly given the large number of security personnel deployed to ensure a peaceful and credible election.

"I therefore implore you to reiterate the commitment made to the people of Osun State that their votes will count and that the outcome of this election will reflect their genuine choice. The Nigeria @PoliceNG, @OfficialDSSNG, @HQNigerianArmy, @official_NSCDC and other security agencies must strictly adhere to this directive, while @inecnigeria must be given every necessary support to conclude the process and deliver a credible and transparent outcome.

"The people of Osun State have spoken with one voice, and their voices must be heard. Their votes must be protected, and their mandate must be respected."
