Arise Television’s The Morning Show anchor, Rufai Oseni, has predicted that the Osun State governorship election will be bloody and that it would take a miracle for Governor Ademola Adeleke to win amid what he described as the heavy deployment of federal might.
Oseni made the remarks on Tuesday while analysing the forthcoming poll. He identified the influence of the Federal Government as the single most important factor that would shape the outcome of the election.“Coming back to Osun elections, like I’ve been saying, the number one factor in this election is the power of federal might, and federal might has been used very well.
“That’s why I predicted it’s going to be a miracle if Adeleke passes this test because of federal might. And when I’m saying this, I’m saying this because I want the people of Osun to go out there and put their money where their mouth is,” he said.
Expressing concern over the risk of violence, Oseni alleged that people had already been injured in incidents linked to the election.“I’m not saying it to distract Osun people. Like I said before, this election will be very bloody. People were also hurt this morning.
“A few days to election, people were also hurt. So it’s going to be a bloody election. Pure and simple, because there are a lot of moving parts,” he added.
The broadcaster further argued that the presence of a strong third-force candidate could work against Adeleke, pointing to historical voting patterns.
“And when you check election history, any time you have a cocktail of federal might and you have a big third candidate, it doesn’t favour Adeleke,” Oseni said.
