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. The group recently had its say via a press statement issued and signed by its spokesman, Pelumi Olajengbesi, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Urging security agencies to ensure a peaceful, free, fair and credible election, Pelumi revealed that reports from communities across the state indicate growing concerns among residents over alleged acts of intimidation and violence linked to political activities.
The campaign council added that voters would reject any attempt to return the state to an era of insecurity and poor governance.
His words, “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.
Under the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke, workers receive their salaries promptly, infrastructure is being modernised, public institutions are being revitalised, and investments are being made in the welfare of the people.
We urge security agencies to identify, dismantle, and prosecute all criminal networks involved in political violence, regardless of the political interests they serve.
The decision on August 15 belongs to the people of Osun State.
They deserve an election that reflects their freely expressed will, not one manipulated through fear, violence, or coercion.”
