Weeks after he lost the July 16 Osun state gubernatorial election by 375,027 votes to 403,371 votes, Governor Gboyega Oyetola has continued to “snub” social media.
His self-name pages on Facebook and Instagram have gone “fallow”.
The pages ( verified Governor Adegboyega Oyetola on Facebook and not-yet-verified adegboyegaoyetola on Instagram ) were actively used to campaign for the election he lost to Demola Adeleke of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
