Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a True Democrat – Yoruba Youth Council Hails President's Intervention on Osun State Accounts

The Yoruba Youth Council (YYC) has commended President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for directing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately vacate the court order freezing the bank accounts of the Osun State Government, describing the intervention as a significant demonstration of his commitment to democracy, constitutional governance, and the rule of law.

In a statement issued on Thursday and signed by the President of the Council, Mogaji Alawode Rahmon Akintunde, the YYC said the President's timely intervention came at a critical moment, with the Osun State governorship election less than ten days away. According to the Council, the decision helped avert unnecessary political tension, ensured continuity in governance, and strengthened public confidence in the credibility of the forthcoming election.

The Council noted that President Tinubu's action further reinforces his reputation as a democrat who prioritizes national interest above partisan politics, while safeguarding the integrity of Nigeria's democratic institutions.

"By directing the immediate unfreezing of the Osun State Government's accounts, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again demonstrated that democracy must be protected at all times.

His action reflects the qualities of a statesman who believes elections should be conducted on a level playing field and that no government should be subjected to actions capable of undermining public confidence in the democratic process."

The YYC added that the President's directive sends a strong message that democratic institutions must always operate within the framework of fairness, justice, and constitutional order, while reassuring Nigerians that his administration remains committed to strengthening democratic governance.

The Council further emphasized that the uninterrupted operation of the Osun State Government is essential for the continued delivery of public services and the preservation of peace and stability ahead of the September 2026 governorship election.

Commending the President for his political maturity and respect for constitutional governance, the YYC stated that the decision would further enhance Nigeria's democratic image within the international community.

The Council also called on all political parties, candidates, supporters, security agencies, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to emulate the President's commitment to fairness by ensuring that the forthcoming Osun State governorship election is peaceful, transparent, credible, and acceptable to all stakeholders.

While reaffirming its confidence in President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda, the Yoruba Youth Council urged Nigerian youths to remain peaceful, law-abiding, and actively participate in the democratic process, stressing that democracy can only flourish where justice, equity, and the rule of law prevail.
