“As we begin implementing the comprehensive resolutions reached at the meeting, I urge all residents of Osun State, particularly those in Ifon, Ilobu, and Erin-Osun communities, to cooperate with security agencies as they work to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of lives and property.
“I also call on our traditional leaders to appeal to their people to uphold peace. Furthermore, I will be meeting with the traditional rulers of the affected communities to foster dialogue and ensure lasting resolutions.”
