Ahead of the governorship election in the state, the Imole Campaign Council, the campaign organisation supporting Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, has raised concerns over alleged political violence and intimidation ahead of the August 15, 2026, governorship election.
In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by its spokesman, Pelumi Olajengbesi, the council urged security agencies to ensure a peaceful, free, fair and credible election.
“Our independent assessment and engagements with voters across the state reveal a common sentiment. The people of Osun are prepared to vote decisively against the APC, driven largely by widespread concerns over what many residents describe as a pattern of political intimidation, violence, and insecurity allegedly associated with actors loyal to the opposition party,” it said.
Highlighting the performance of Adeleke’s administration, the campaign council said voters would reject any attempt to return the state to what it described as an era of insecurity and poor governance.
