According to claims making the rounds, Eniade was injured during the attack alongside several others.

An X user confirming the incident wrote on Wednesday: “Speaker Wale Egbedun just attacked Eniade. Dozens were injured, and several cars were destroyed. Where are the so-called neutrals to condemn this?”

However, the Osun State Police Command is yet to confirm the development as of the time of filing this report.

DAILY POST reports that Egbedun, who is backing the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke, had called for the arrest of Senator Francis Fadahunsi and Francis Eniade over alleged inciting remarks.

Fadahunsi on Wednesday appeared before the Osun State Police Command over the alleged “Kill Accord Party supporters” remarks.

DAILY POST reports that Adeleke will slug it out mainly with Bola Oyebamiji of the APC and Dr Francis Ajala of the Social Democratic Party, whose name was cleared on Wednesday.

He said that the All Progressives, APC, does not have the political strength to match Adeleke in the state, arguing that the real contest is between the governor and the influence of the Tinubu-led presidency.

“The battle in Osun is not a contest between Adeleke and the APC; it is between Adeleke and President Bola Tinubu. APC is no match for Adeleke in Osun. 

“Everybody agrees on that. They can make all the noise and hullabaloo, but I can tell you today that even the presidency knows. I have a lot of friends in APC; they know they cannot match Ademola Adeleke,” he said.

Momodu’s comments came amid heightened political activity in the state as the major parties intensify their campaigns ahead of Saturday’s poll.

DAILY POST reports that the election is keenly contested, with Adeleke seeking a second term in office and the APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, emerging as one of his major challengers.

He said the choice of Bosso was based on his political experience, administrative record and ability to work with others, describing the ticket as a combination of political experience and technocratic capacity.

Kpautagi said the ADC would focus its campaign on issues affecting residents of the state, including insecurity, poor healthcare, education, youth unemployment, road infrastructure and prudent management of public resources.

He said the party would, when the campaign period begins, tour communities across the state to seek the mandate of voters through a peaceful and orderly campaign.

“We want a campaign that is based on issues and solutions, not propaganda, intimidation and hatred,” Kpautagi said.

He stated that fixing hospitals and schools, securing the state, constructing roads and addressing the challenges facing unemployed youths would be among the priorities of an ADC administration.

He also promised a transparent and prudent management of public resources, saying governance should be centred on the needs of the people.

Responding, Bosso described his nomination as a call to service, pledging to work with Kpautagi to provide what he described as accountable and people-oriented leadership.

The former commissioner said one of the priorities of the proposed administration would be to restore the proper functions of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.

He alleged that the current system in the state had allowed one person to control virtually everything, saying government institutions should be allowed to perform their statutory responsibilities.

Bosso said the ticket was committed to securing a better future for the people, particularly youths and children, through effective governance and collective decision-making.

The ADC State Chairman, Abdulhamid El-Waziri, urged voters to elect credible leaders at all levels of government, saying Nigerians need leaders who are capable of addressing the hardship confronting citizens.

Bosso previously served as Commissioner in several ministries, including Works, Youth and Sports, Water Resources, and Budget and Planning under the administration of former Governor Abubakar Sani Bello.
