The Osun Grassroot Movement (OGM) has received credible intelligence regarding a calculated and clandestine plot by elements within the All Progressives Congress (APC) to manipulate the forthcoming electoral process in Osun State.  Central to these disturbing developments is the reported transfer of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Mutiu Agboke, alongside alleged moves to deploy compromised electoral mechanisms to Osun state aimed at subverting the will of the people. We view these actions as a direct affront to democracy and a dangerous attempt to disenfranchise the good people of Osun State through backdoor tactics and institutional compromise. Such maneuvers, if left unchecked, pose a grave threat to peace, stability, and democratic consolidation in the state. The Osun Grassroot Movement hereby issues a firm and unequivocal warning to APC gladiators and their collaborators.  Osun State is not a theatre for electoral manipulation. Any attempt to rig, dist...

The Adeleke Campaign Organisation made the assertion while refuting statements credited to Hon. Wole Oke who claimed that since the governor won with only 28,000 in 2022 and since he and others had since defected, the APC will win the state in August.

While slamming Oke for his anti-party activities against Governor Adeleke in the 2022 polls, the governor's campaign group declared that the exit o...
