Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has vowed to sue the state’s opposition All Progressives Congress for N5 billion in defamation claims, Cyber Reporters report.
The warning came after the APC stated that a senior member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State was planning a violent attack ahead of the state’s governorship election in 2026.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Osun APC’s Director of Media and Information, Mr Kola Olabisi, referred to a viral video in which an anonymous PDP chieftain threatened to attack the Independent National Electoral Commission’s office in Osun.
According to Olabisi, the PDP chieftain voiced concern in the video that his party might not win the Osun governorship race in 2026.
The said PDP chieftain was captured in the video saying: “It is the example of what the APC would do in Osun State that it did in Edo State last week. Whoever wants to die, let him die.
“There ought to have been a clandestine arrangement where one or two chartered bomb-laced helicopters would have been stationed in the neighbouring Delta State from where they would have successfully bombed the INEC office, where close to 150 and 200 innocent people including the Resident Electoral Commissioner, the Assistant Inspector General of Police, the Returning Officer and presiding officers would have met their untimely death.
“I can remember that we suggested the same maximum violence for Osun State during the 2022 elections in the state but it was needless as we won the election. We must realise the fact that the Osun APC never knew that they could lose the 2022 governorship election. If we slack now and allow them to win the 2026 governorship election, there is no way that the PDP would take it back from them again till eternity.
