A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has condemned the recent wave of attacks against President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking in Osogbo on Sunday, the former lawmaker representing Obokun State Constituency in Osun State House of Assembly urged opposition parties in the country to stop criticising Tinubu over rise in violent crimes across the country.

He said instead of criticism that could cause distraction, Tinubu should be supported as he sought solution to the challenge.

“No one is happy with the recent killing, banditry, terrorism, kidnapping other criminalities across the country. But negative criticism and names calling by the leaders of the opposition parties is not the way forward,” Oyintiloye said.

“What we need at the critical period is for us, as stakeholders to come together, irrespective of our political affiliation, religious or tribe and give the present administration needed boost and encouragement.

“Security is a collective responsibility of everyone and that is why I am appealing to leaders of the opposition parties to stop playing cheap politics with security issues and narratives that can divide the country,” he added.
