Gov. Adeleke: Osun Is President’s Home, Must Not Be Turned Into Battleground.

OSOGBO – 04/09/2025 – osunstate.gov.ng

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has called on security agencies to remain neutral and professional in the unfolding political atmosphere, stressing that Osun, being the home state of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, must not be turned into a political battleground.

The Governor made this appeal during the decoration ceremony of his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ahmed Bio Abdulraman, held at the Government House, Osogbo. The event had in attendance the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Gotan; the State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Mr. Igbalawole Sotiyo; the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Sector Commander, Mr. Leye Adegboyega; and other service chiefs.

Governor Adeleke commended the Nigeria Police Force for consistently embracing professionalism, praising both the Inspector General of Police and the Osun Command for their discipline and adherence to due process. He particularly lauded Commissioner of Police Gotan for his leadership style, which he said has promoted peace and order across the state.

While appreciating the synergy among security agencies in Osun, Adeleke charged them to maintain neutrality in political activities, insisting that law enforcement must not be compromised by partisanship. “We should continue to maintain a level playing field. This is the home state of Mr. President. Mr. President belongs to all of us. Osun should not be turned into a battleground,” the Governor emphasized.

Turning to the celebrant, Adeleke expressed joy over the promotion of his ADC, describing DSP Abdulraman as an exemplary officer whose loyalty and discipline embody the values of the Nigeria Police. “I am happy today over the promotion of my ADC. He is a good representative of the police,” the Governor noted, adding that the Force remains a vital institution in Nigeria’s growth and stability.

He further highlighted the sacrifices of security operatives nationwide, remarking that the Nigeria Police remains a “blessed organisation” that deserves the appreciation of both the government and the people.

In his goodwill message, the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Gotan, congratulated DSP Abdulraman and commended his service record. He reminded the officer that promotions come with added responsibilities and urged him to remain committed to discipline, professionalism, and the highest ideals of policing.

Gotan reiterated that the Osun Command will continue to uphold fairness, human rights, and respect for the rule of law. He also assured the Governor of the command’s readiness to sustain peace and order in the state, noting that government support has been instrumental to their operations.

The police commissioner concluded by encouraging officers across the state to emulate the values of hard work and dedication displayed by Abdulraman, describing him as a role model within the Force.
