In a press release today by the Media Unit office to the Senator Lere Oyewumi, the distinguished Senator representing Osun West in the red chamber of the National Assembly confirmed that
In the dead of night at approximately 1:00 a.m., the residence of the Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Akogun Lere Kamorudeen Oyewumi was laid under siege by security operatives wielding a heavy deployment of about 10 Hilux vehicles in a blatant bid to effect an arrest. According to the release, the cowardly display of intimidation was not an act of lawful governance, but a calculated show of force meant to instill fear and suppress a leader who has steadfastly stood for the people. "If this raid was indeed a legitimate operation, the public deserves immediate and transparent answers regarding the legal authority, official justification, and command behind such a massive state deployment. The orchestrators of this siege must realize that weaponizing state security to terrorize political figures is a direct assault on democratic norms. You may deploy a fleet of armed vehicles, but you cannot arrest courage; you may surround a physical residence, but no amount of force can imprison the truth. It is very sad that some dissidents were hell-bent on tarnishing the good intentions of Mr. President on Osun election. However, let it be made crystal clear to those driving this agenda, intimidation will never break Senator Lere Oyewumi, pressure will not silence him, and a reckless show of force will not defeat his resolve. We urge the resilient people of Ikire to remain fearless, resolute, and completely undeterred by these state-sponsored tactics. Harassment will fail, and the populace will turn out en masse to exercise their democratic franchise without fear or panic.We urgently call upon Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), human rights watchdogs, and the international community to take note of this escalation of political persecution and hold those responsible to account. Democracy can not survive when state machinery is hijacked to suppress opposition leaders and terrorize communities.
Senator Lere Kamorudeen Oyewumi remains standing, resolute and fearless, alongside the people whose mandate he carries." While having audience with team of Journalists in his house, Akogun Lere Oyewumi confidently confirmed that as a well grounded, and a grassroot politician who has done a lots for the people of his consistency, and going by what the governor of Osun State has done in the state, he has no doubt that the accord Party will win tommorrow Saturday election. "Our people are with us, Osun people are with us, they new what the working governor Adeleke has done for the state and we do not have any doubt that we will win the election."
Senator Lere Oyewumi used the opportunity to appreciate and commends the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria President Tinubu for his fatherly and timely actions to cushion the unnecessary tention towards the Saturday election, while appealing to the generality of Osun people to sue for Peace before, during and after the election.
