Adeleke and Oyetola Trade Rigging Claims Ahead of Osun Governorship Poll
Political tensions are rising in Osun State ahead of the August 15 governorship election, as Governor Ademola Adeleke and former governor Adegboyega Oyetola trade allegations. Oyetola, now Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, says Adeleke's endorsement of President Bola Tinubu will not stop the APC from reclaiming the state. He also dismissed the governor's concerns about the election environment. Adeleke has accused Oyetola and the APC of planning to rig the poll, an allegation the party denies. He urged Osun residents to remain vigilant and protect their votes. The contest is a rematch of the tightly fought 2022 election, which Adeleke won. Attention is now on electoral officials, political parties and security agencies to ensure a peaceful and credible process.
