OSUN LG ELECTION : APC ALLEGEDLY HIRES HOODLUMS TO INTIMIDATE PDP LEADERS 

Osogbo, February 20, 2025.

Ahead of Council polls, the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has hired political thugs and impostors to intimidate notable PDP leaders and public office holders in the administration of Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke.

This, according to reports from the Osun Leadership Forum, is to disrupt the forthcoming Local Government election across the 30 Local Governments and area office, Modakeke.

Recall that the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) has concluded arrangements to conduct elections into the Local Government areas across the State.

Nigerian Platform reliably gathered that it did not go down well with the opposition which withdrew from the exercise at the instance of a controversial Appeal Court judgement delivered on Monday, 10th February, 2025.

The APC aided by the Nigerian Police Force has forcefully taken over some Local Governments. Boasting of the Federal might, the party has vowed to leave no stone unturned, in stopping the LG Election.

"They also plan to attack, assassinate and kidnap PDP's frontline leaders across the State, beginning from 12:00am on the Election Day", Osun Leadership Forum alleged.

Some of the PDP leaders allegedly under APC's watch include the Speaker , Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, Osun State PDP Chairman, Hon. Sunday Bisi, Honourable Commissioner for Information, Barr. Kolapo Alimi, Honourable Commissioner for Commerce, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo and "some Commissioners".

The report stated that the APC also plans to unleash mayhem during Saturday election, by ballot snatching, stuffing, to be carried out by APC thugs in Police uniform.
