He commiserate with the immediate families of the deceased, the PDP family and everyone touched by their unfortunate passage, expressing dismay that the killers of Messrs. Ismaila and Kasali still walk on the streets because they feel untouchable.

“I commiserate with their families, PDP members in Ilesa West and beyond over this irreparable loss. I also urge those affected by this terrible incident not to take laws into their hands as we will explore every legal option to bring their killers to justice.

“I want to reiterate my call to all residents of Osun to give peace a chance as no life is worth the ephemeral nature of power. We must do away with any form of violence because it will do no one any good. I pray for the repose of the souls of Messrs Ismaila and Kasali, and everyone lost to the needless bloodletting by those who want to take power through the back door. May peace of God be upon our homes and our dear state. Amin.”
