The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi has threatened to ‘personally put a curse from God Almighty’ on those engaged in the business of spilling blood and killing all because of Saturday’s gubernatorial election in Osun State.
While commenting on the political situation in Osun State, Oba Akanbi tasked politicians in Osun State to desist from any thuggery and the spilling of blood in the coming gubernatorial election.
“I am not a politician but a traditional ruler; what I ask is for all politicians and their followers in each party to sheathe their swords in Osun. Stop killing each other. Seek peace. There is no election that is worth the life of any Osun indigene. Election will come on Saturday, and it will go, but if you do not live to tell the story, it will be a loss to you.”
“If you do otherwise, I personally will put a curse from God Almighty and even your families on anyone killing our children in Osun. All Osun residents are our children. We do not want all this bad news coming from Osun State,” he stated.
Praises For Tinubu
In the same vein, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi and 24 other traditional rulers in his Federal Constituency in Osun State have commended President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, for facilitating the rehabilitation of the 82-kilometre Ibadan-Iwo-Osogbo road.
The monarchs described the project as a major development that would boost economic activity, ease transport, and strengthen connectivity across communities along the corridor.
During the event organised to commend President Tinubu and Oyetola, who is also a former Osun Governor, the Oluwo lauded the duo for awarding the long-abandoned Osogbo-Iwo road to Peculiar Concerns Limited, which hails from the constituency.
The Oluwo expressed confidence that Tinubu will secure a second term, noting that “Nigerians will repay him for his efforts, because he improved our worth. He is the best President since Nigeria’s independence.
“Today, Nigeria is creditworthy; people will be talking about the legacy of Tinubu. If you are not creditworthy, will you be able to secure a loan? Let everyone check themselves: how many loans can you secure?”

Achievements
“We see NELFUND, autonomy, and funds going to states. If funds go to states, they reach the grassroots; the government should take care of its citizens and avoid selfishness. It was a a bit tough at first, but now we see the network of roads that will last for over 60 years. Nigeria is turning into a great nation with the emergence of President Bola Tinubu,” Oluwo said.
Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, the APC senatorial candidate, disclosed that “This road has been abandoned for the past 15 years. It was awarded under the Oyetola administration and neglected by the Adeleke administration. How well will it be for us if we are in the mainstream? In Iwoland, we are progressive to the core. We have never lost any election,” he declared.
