The campaign team of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of engaging in political violence ahead of the August 15 gubernatorial election, according to a report by BusinessDay Nigeria. The Imole Campaign Council, which supports Adeleke's re-election bid, claims that APC operatives have resorted to intimidation and harassment to sway voters.
The allegations come amid heightened tensions in the state as both major political parties intensify their efforts to secure victory. The campaign council stated that APC tactics have created an unsafe environment for voters and candidates alike. The report highlights concerns over the use of force and threats to influence election outcomes.
Local observers have noted that the accusations reflect a broader pattern of political rivalry in the region. While the APC has denied the claims, the campaign team insists that evidence of wrongdoing exists and is being gathered for potential legal action. The situation remains under close watch as the election approaches. (businessday.ng)
