The Oyo State Government has waded into the simmering public altercations over the boundary dispute between Osun and Oyo States.
In a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, Government counselled both sides of the divide to stop the back-and-forth blame game and allow the two Governments to continue matured discussions on the resolution to the land dispute.
The Commissioner said that the media feed on combustible materials such as this and while unending hostile public statements feed the media nest, they are injurious and distracting to what the Governors of the two States are doing.
The Commissioner said that the two Governments believe that the protracted land dispute is not intractable and traditional Institutions should not be a clog in the wheel of peaceful resolution.
According to him, Governors Seyi Makinde and Ademola Adeleke are cooperating fully with the National Boundary Commission through their representatives and believe that amicable solution will be arrived at soon.
