Reacting through a post on X, Ahmad said, “This is just cheap blackmail. People have every right to vote for whoever or whatever party they choose.

“After all, your uncle has been running the government for four years now. Surely, that is enough time for the good people of Osun to make their judgment.”

DAILY POST recalls that the two have been launching an online war against each other in recent times.

Ahmad had expressed confidence that the singer would return to X to lament the outcome of the August 15 governorship election.

In return, David lambasted Ahmad that he was a little boy who got into politics, challenging him to point out any any achievement he made as a presidential aide for eight years.

Dantalle cautioned politicians against perpetrating violence against the same citizens they seek to govern, citing the destruction of lives and property in different parts of the state.

Speaking in an interview with Arise News, the IPAC chairman said the council had condemned the incidents and warned key stakeholders, including political actors, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, security agencies and traditional rulers, to prioritise the interests of the people of Osun State.

He said, “We have continued to condemn these actions and also alert various stakeholders, including political actors, INEC as the electoral umpire, security agencies and traditional leaders, on the need to prioritise the interests of the people of Osun.

“It is unacceptable to harm the people you intend to govern. There have been several incidents involving the destruction of lives and property, as well as protests and counter-protests.

“We want to advise all stakeholders involved in the Osun election that this is a deviation from the principles and ethics of democracy, which is fundamentally about allowing the people to freely and fairly choose their leaders, with the outcome respected and accepted by all.

“This situation is indeed troubling, and I would like to use this opportunity to urge all stakeholders to exercise caution.

“Those who use state institutions to intimidate or harass political opponents must desist and allow the people to make their own choices.

“If we allow such actions to continue, we must consider their implications for the general elections just a few months away. It could be a foreshadowing of what we may encounter in the 2027 elections.

“We must exercise extreme caution to avoid undermining the progress we have made.”
