By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo –

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has urged security agencies to remain neutral and professional as the political atmosphere unfolds, stressing that Osun, the home state of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, must not be turned into a battleground.

Speaking during the decoration of his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), Deputy Superintendent of Police Ahmed Bio Abdulraman, at the Government House, Osogbo, Adeleke emphasized the need for a level playing field in political activities, insisting that security agencies must not allow partisanship to influence their duties.

“We should continue to maintain a level playing field. This is the home state of Mr. President. Mr. President belongs to all of us. Osun should not be turned into a battleground,” the Governor said.

Adeleke commended the synergy among security agencies in the state, praising the Nigeria Police Force for consistently embracing professionalism. He specifically lauded the Inspector-General of Police and the Osun Command, led by CP Ibrahim Gotan, for their discipline and adherence to due process.

The Governor singled out CP Gotan for his leadership, which he said has ensured peace and order across the state.

He also expressed joy at his ADC’s promotion, describing DSP Abdulraman as an exemplary officer whose loyalty and discipline embody the values of the Nigeria Police. “I am happy today over the promotion of my ADC. He is a good representative of the police,” Adeleke added, noting that the Force remains a vital institution in Nigeria’s growth and stability.

In his goodwill message, CP Gotan congratulated Abdulraman and urged him to see his new rank as a call to greater responsibility, while remaining committed to discipline, professionalism, and the highest ideals of policing.

The Commissioner assured the Governor of the command’s readiness to sustain peace and order in the state, noting that government support has been instrumental to their operations.
