Welcome to today’s Osun State, where governance is now a live-action battleground and political power is measured not by votes or policies but by the number of hired guns you can deploy.
While the political elite send their foot soldiers to die in gunfights, the average Osun resident is left with nothing – except maybe the rising cost of food and a healthcare system so weak that even minor injuries from this political warzone could be a death sentence.
Dear people of Osun, this is not entertainment. This is not Big Brother Naija: Local Government Edition. This is our democracy being hijacked by people who see power as their personal inheritance, not as a responsibility to serve.
To the Osun State government and security agencies, how were armed thugs allowed to storm government buildings? Where was the police force when bullets were flying? Who is being held accountable for these deaths?
