Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has again, alleged the opposition All Progressives Congress is planning to rig the forthcoming gubernatorial election scheduled for August 15 through the federal might.
Adeleke stated this while addressing leaders and ward officials of the enlarged Accord across the 332 wards in Osun State.
The governor who berated the Osun APC for dragging President Bola Tinubu’s name in the mud with its alleged constant vow to deploy federal institutions to rig forthcoming elections, warned that federal might is for Good governance, not election rigging.
Adeleke in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said, “The President is using federal power to deliver on good governance, like the ongoing reconstruction of the Ibadan–Ilesa road, the loan programmes for students, and the pledge to institute state police, among others. Neither the President nor the top leaders around him support the threats by the Osun APC to disrupt the upcoming Osun polls.
“I task Osun APC to stop denigrating the names of Mr President and the Federal Government. Instead of supporting Mr President and showing the world that the number one citizen is a democrat in words and actions, Osun APC’s campaign slogans have been entirely anti-people and anti-democracy.
“Osun people are passionate about free and fair elections. Our people insist on their votes deciding who wins and who governs them. Our duty as candidates is to market our manifestos and seek their votes. Only electoral bandits boast of rigging in a democracy.”
