Osun 2026: Bill Board Vandalism, Primitive – Oyedotun
An Accord Party aspirant for Osun East Senatorial District, Samuel Oyedotun, has described the continued vandalisation of political billboards across Osun State as uncivilised and primitive.
Reacting to the scenario in a statement made available to newsmen in Osogbo, he called for urgent intervention by security agencies including the police to stem the trend and restore sanity in the state.
He said the popularity of Governor Ademola Adeleke is already enough for him to win the August 15 governorship election, and insisted that destroying campaign billboards cannot change voters’ minds.
Oyedotun argued that people destroying Adeleke’s billboards are “only making him more popular,” insisting that the act cannot affect Adeleke’s popularity.
While expressed confidence in clinching the Accord Party ticket for Osun East, Oyedotun said if elected, he would follow Governor Adeleke’s approach by prioritising the welfare of the people irrespective of party affiliation.
Meanwhile, Osun state Police has strongly warned billboard and other government symbols within the state.vandals to desist or be ready to face the consequences of their criminal acts.
The Command in a statement by the Command public relations officer, Abiodun Ojelabi urged all political parties, candidates and their supporters to conduct their activities within the ambit of the law and in strict compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.
“The police have commenced discreet investigation into the incidents with a view to identifying, arresting, and prosecuting the perpetrators in accordance with the law” Ojelabi stated.
