Voters kick as Adeleke, Oyebamiji Meet Tinubu After Osun Poll: Are Politicians Worth Dying For?

The aftermath of the Osun governorship election has raised a serious question about the price of political loyalty and violence. Governor Ademola Adeleke, the re-elected governor, and his defeated opponent Bola Oyebamiji have both met with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja after the election. Oyebamiji has also called for peace and urged supporters to remain calm while the APC reviews the election.

Against this backdrop, voters are asking: If political opponents can meet, reconcile and pursue their interests after an election, are politicians really worth dying for?

What happens to the supporters who fight, get injured or lose their lives during political contests? And should ordinary Nigerians continue risking everything for politicians who may eventually sit at the same table?

This episode examines Adeleke, Oyebamiji, Tinubu, political violence, voter loyalty and the lessons from Osun 2026.
