Let Oyo, Osun resolve boundary dispute peacefully, commissioner urges agitators

The Oyo State Government has warned agitators in the Oyo/Osun boundary dispute to sheathe their sword.

In a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, the government urged both sides of the divide to stop the back-and-forth blame game and allow the two governments to continue mature discussions on the resolution to the land dispute.

Oyelade said that the media feed on combustible materials such as this and while unending hostile public statements feed the media nest, they are injurious and distracting to what the Governors of the two States are doing.

The Commissioner said that the two governments believe that the protracted land dispute is not intractable and traditional institutions should not be a clog in the wheel of peaceful resolution.

According to him, Governors Seyi Makinde and Ademola Adeleke are cooperating fully with the National Boundary Commission through their representatives and believe that an amicable solution will be arrived at soon.
