On the reported protest over the outcome of the council polls, Omotosho admonished the aggrieved party in the election to channel their grievances through lawful means so as not to create unnecessary unrest in the state.

The Labour Party boss, however, applauded the people of Kwara State for coming out en mass and conducting themselves peacefully while the election lasted and for demanding accountability by staying back to defend their votes.
