Meanwhile, the gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Senator Sharafadeen Alli has appealed to Ibadan elders to immediately call the State governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde and the gubernatorial candidate of Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Hon Abimbola Adekanmbi to order.

He explained that no ambition worth the life of any individual in the state.
He said, "Following the gruesome murder of an All Progressives Congress (APC) member in Ibadan by Allied People’s Movement (APM) hoodlums, the Senator Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation (SSACO) has called on elders across the state to warn Governor Seyi Makinde and the APM governorship candidate, Hon. Bimbo Adekanmbi, against foisting violence on the people of Oyo State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
"SSACO expressed surprise that Makinde and Adekanmbi have adopted bloodshed as their new campaign method, but insisted that their ambition is not worth the life of any individual living anywhere in Oyo State".
