Adeleke's Council Alleges APC Plot to Sabotage Election
The Imole Campaign Council, which represents Governor Ademola Adeleke, has formally alerted the public about an alleged scheme by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to undermine the integrity of the upcoming Osun State governorship election scheduled for August 15, 2026. In a statement released on Monday, spokesperson Pelumi Olajengbesi, Esq., claimed they possess "credible intelligence" indicating that the APC intends to pressure the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to close polling units by 12:00 noon in areas known to support Governor Adeleke.
This action is viewed as a strategic attempt to suppress voter turnout in these opposition strongholds. The Council accused the APC of previously failing to eliminate Governor Adeleke from the ballot through legal means and resorting to intimidation tactics.
They urged INEC to uphold its independence and called on civil society, election observers, and the media to monitor the election closely, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the credibility of Nigeria's electoral institutions.
