The Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has warned against religious conflict and confrontations in the state, affirming that all adherents of various religions should operate peacefully.
The Special Adviser who was at the palace at Iwo met various stakeholders including a telephone conversation with Oluwo who was out of town.
Spokesperson to the State Governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, also quoted Ojo as having had interactions with some traditionalists who had vowed to converge at Iwoland to challenge the traditional ruler who had reportedly banned traditionalists from his domain.
"I came down on the directive of Mr Governor. I spoke with Kabiyesi, Oluwo and he promised to ensure peace and security though he is out of town. I interacted some other traditional leaders not far from palace.
"The message is that peaceful co-existence is a must and any group that breaches peace of the state will have security operatives to contend with.
"We have taken all necessary security precautions . The traditionalists are free to exercise their fundamental human rights. They must act within the bound of law. The Governor has also declared Monday 21st as a public holiday to commemorate the 2023 Isese Day Festival” the Security Adviser noted.
