APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe criticises Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke after he leaves the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Accord Party ahead of the state governorship election. In posts on social media, Igbokwe calls the move an “unbelievable mistake,” arguing that Adeleke should have joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He also links his argument to perceived family ties between President Bola Tinubu and Osun State.
Across the reports, Adeleke is described as contesting the Saturday election on the Accord Party platform. The outlets note that Adeleke raises allegations of harassment and intimidation involving his supporters, saying federal agents are involved. He claims some supporters have been arrested and killed, and he accuses certain federal government institutions of undermining his campaign. While Igbokwe’s remarks focus on party switching and political alignment, Adeleke’s response centres on security and pressure on his campaign ahead of voting.
