The monarch's attention was drawn to a video where he made a speech at the flag-off of a road construction in Apomu. However, he never urged members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to attack supporters of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the forthcoming election, as alleged in the video.

In fact, the monarch said he never mentioned the 2027 election or APC in the video. He emphasized that he is a man of peace and does not encourage or support violence in any form or manner.

The people of Osun State are known for their peaceful nature, and the monarch's denial is seen as a reflection of this. The state has a history of peaceful elections, and the monarch's statement is aimed at ensuring that this continues.

In a statement, the monarch said, "I am a man of peace, and I do not encourage or support violence in any form or manner." This statement is seen as a testament to his commitment to peace and stability in Osun State.

In a bid to ensure peace and stability in Osun State, the monarch has called on all stakeholders to work together. He has emphasized the need for peaceful coexistence and has urged everyone to shun violence.
