APC and Adeleke Camps Clash Over Billboard Vandalism

The political landscape in Osun State is tense as the APC and the camp of Governor Ademola Adeleke trade accusations regarding the vandalism of campaign billboards. The Imol Campaign Council of the Accord Party, led by Pelumi Olajengbesi, alleged that APC-linked hoodlums destroyed billboards in several local government areas, including Irewole, Ayedaade, Irepodun, and Osogbo.

They called for an investigation by the Inspector General of Police and security agencies, describing the vandalism as politically motivated violence. The APC, represented by Oluremi Omowaiy, dismissed these allegations as baseless and a diversionary tactic, claiming that their campaign materials were also targeted by political thugs.

Omowaiy accused Adeleke's administration of financial mismanagement and corruption, asserting that the allegations against the APC were an attempt to distract from the failures of the current government. The situation reflects a growing political tension in the state as the August 15 governorship election approaches.
