There is apprehension in Osun State over an alleged plot by some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to bomb the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
A voice note that went viral on social media has a yet-to-be-identified PDP member in the state alleging that the All Progressives Congress (APC) might win the 2026 governorship election, hence the need to stop it by bombing the INEC head office in the state.
The APC in the state, while reacting to the audio, stressed the need for the Inspector General of Police to investigate the plot in the audio to kill scores in the INEC headquarters, including AIG, REC, and 200 others.
The APC’s Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Olabisi, added that the PDP member in the audio revealed a plan to bomb the INEC office during the 2018 elections but was stopped by Senator Ademola Adeleke and Dr. Deji Adeleke, hence the need to investigate the leaked audio.
“Why is Governor Adeleke and his co-travellers afraid of losing the election when it was apparent that it was a party that lost to the PDP and the heavens did not fall? In a similar manner, when Governor Adeleke loses the forthcoming governorship election, the heavens would also not cave in?”
Reacting to the purported bombing plans, Ademola Adeleke, through his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, threatened to direct his lawyers to sue APC’s spokesman, Olabisi, for N5 billion as damages over a defamatory statement.
The governor described the reaction of APC as irresponsible and defamatory, demanding a retraction of the baseless allegations or face legal action.
