Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has often emphasized the need to embrace peace in any contested territory while waiting for a peaceful settlement of the matter.
At the same time, he criticized publications that attempted to change the Oyo/Osun boundary’s already-established facts.
On Wednesday in Osogbo, Governor Adeleke revealed his views to representatives of the National Boundary Commission, NBC, Abuja, who were accompanied by Oluwafemi Oshinaike.
The Governor, who was represented by the Deputy Governor, Kola Adewusi, appreciated the visit as timely and commendable.
Adeleke said: “My administration is committed to addressing the development and in doing so, we will not leave any stone unturned.
“All necessary arrangements are on a daily basis, being put in place to checkmate what could have led to lawlessness leading to the breakdown of law and order.”
In the same vein, on a visit to the palace of the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, Oshinaike assured that the NBC was committed to finding lasting solutions to all the communities in disputes over boundary matters.
Oba Akanbi acknowledged all the series of efforts put in place by the Adeleke administration to stem the tide of the aggravation of the crisis, which, according to Oluwo, would have been unfortunate and devastating.
“I implore the NBC officials to put in place necessary peace modalities with a view to complimenting the ones already put in place by the administration of Ademola Adeleke,” he said.
