Adabanija Qomarudeen Idowu Mayegun wrote on Facebook: “May Allah expose whoever is planning violence against next Saturday’s governorship election in Osun.”
Jones Fcc Onwuasoanya said: “Lasun Yusuf is clearly the best of all the candidates that have presented themselves for the governorship race in Osun State, and he has shown that at different fora and whenever the opportunity provides itself.
“He might not have the financial war chaste like the PDP and APC candidates, but he is sure ready to slug it out with them, banking on his unmatched manifesto and creative campaign.
“Whoever sent those hoodlums in uniform should order them back to their barracks.”
