APC's Alli Campaign Threatens Legal Action Over Corruption Claims

The campaign organization for Senator Sharafadeen Alli, the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Oyo State, has issued a threat of legal action against Bimbo Adekanmbi, the governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement. This action follows allegations made by Adekanmbi regarding corruption and financial mismanagement, which Alli's campaign organization describes as falsehoods aimed at damaging his reputation and undermining his political support ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

In a statement from Bisi Oladele, the Director of Media and Publicity for the Senator Sharafadeen Alli Campaign Organisation, the group accused Adekanmbi of distorting historical facts and exploiting past local government challenges for political gain. They defended Alli's record during his tenure as chairman of Ibadan North Local Government, highlighting his commitment to salary payments and workers' welfare.

The organization challenged Adekanmbi to substantiate his claims, warning that failure to do so could lead to a defamation suit. They also criticized the current administration of Governor Seyi Makinde and expressed confidence in Alli's potential to revitalize local governance if elected.
