Despite assurances by Nigeria’s electoral body and the police of level play ground for the Osun Guber, Veteran journalist and publisher, Dele Momodu, has warned Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, of an alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to manipulate the August 15, 2026, governorship election in the state.
In a message on 𝕏, addressed to Adeleke, described as his “Twin Brother,” Momodu alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), could not be trusted to conduct a free, fair and credible election.
According to him, the APC-led Federal Government was planning to use the Osun election as a test run for the 2027 presidential election.
“Let no one deceive you that INEC, under the complete control of PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU will organize free, fair and credible ELECTION in OSUN State next week, AUGUST 15, 2026.
“The ruling APC government is determined to use your election as the dress rehearsal for their nefarious preparation for the Presidential election in January 2027,” he claimed.
He further alleged that members of the APC are under instruction to secure victory in Osun State “by any means necessary”.
“We have a lot of friends in APC, and we’ve been warned to expect any eventuality. The instruction to their foot-soldiers is simple: grab Osun by any means necessary and deal with the resultant volcano thereafter,” Momodu alleged.
The publisher however urged Adeleke to remain steadfast and rely on God as the election approaches, while commending the governor for his achievements in office.
Turning to the APC, the Veteran Journalist and Publisher challenged the broom party to campaign on its past record, informing Osun people of the work they did in the past.
