In their protest, they walked and danced within the state capital singing: “Osun o jo Ekiti, Tinubu m’ale mo wa , osun o jo Ekiti. (Tinubu don’t intimidate us, Osun is not like Ekiti)”
Tinubu who was reacting to reports that he is trying to impose Oyetola, the All Progressives Congress’ candidate in the forthcoming gubernatorial election on the State so as to use him to syphon money, said that the state does not have his kind of money.

According to him:
“Oyetola is a reliable person. He may be quiet, but the sense he has… he is an encyclopedia of finance.
He will not take a bribe; he will not steal your money. If he is looking for money, he would have stayed back in Lagos. Osun doesn’t have Oyetola’s kind of money.
I’m not abusing the state. I asked those saying that I’m trying to plant Oyetola in Osun, that how much does Osun have? Osun doesn’t have my kind of money.”

However, comment from an online user gave kudos to the people of Osun for the protest against intimidation of democracy stressing that APC will not intimidate democracy in Osun like they did in Ekiti state
