Okpebholo Ole!” — Osun Residents Mock Edo Governor as He Leaves Osogbo Amid Tense Election Atmosphere
A dramatic scene reportedly unfolded in Osogbo, Osun State, as some residents were heard chanting “Okpebholo Ole!” while Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, departed the state amid the ongoing political tension surrounding the Osun governorship election.
The incident, which has generated reactions across social media, occurred as political parties and their supporters continued to closely monitor the collation and declaration of results from various parts of the state.
In a video circulating online and credited to @ebira4real, some residents could be heard directing chants at the Edo governor as his convoy moved through Osogbo.
The chant, interpreted in Yoruba as “Okpebholo is a thief,” appeared to reflect the heightened political emotions surrounding the election and the presence of political figures from outside the state.
The development comes against the backdrop of claims by supporters of different political parties regarding the emerging results. While supporters of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have expressed confidence over Governor Ademola Adeleke’s performance, opposition supporters have continued to contest aspects of the electoral process.
The reported incident has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some users describing it as a sign of the intense political mood in Osun, while others have called for restraint and peaceful conduct as the electoral process continues.
It remains important to note that the chants captured in the video represent the views of the individuals heard in the footage and do not, by themselves, establish any official position of Osun residents as a whole.
