Bola Tinubu wades into Osun school crisis

The National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Wednesday intervened in the school classification crisis in Osun State.
Tinubu, who pleaded with all the parties to the crisis to sheathe their swords, spoke at a meeting in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.
Among those that attended the meeting were Bishop Magnus Atilade; Bishop Ayo Opadokun; the state Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola; and the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Osun State branch.
At the meeting, Tinubu, who spoke first, sued for peace.
He pleaded with both sides to be understanding and see the meeting as a sincere attempt to deal with the issues and get everyone on the same page.
Tinubu was direct and lucid as he drew on his experience as Lagos State governor and warned that politicizing the issue will not do anyone any good.
Tinubu enjoined the leaders to be careful not to turn their children to canon fodder for political battle.
He said: “We must be weary of those exploiting this situation for political ends.
“Our children will be exposed to danger.
“Their education will suffer unless we settle down and deal with these issues.
“I want the best for Osun.
“We have sacrificed too much for Osun and the South West politically to now allow an issue like this tear us apart.
“A stitch in time saves nine.”
