The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is distancing itself from a legal challenge to Governor Ademola Adeleke’s victory in the August 15 governorship election. Reporting from two outlets says the APC’s legal team disowns a petition that seeks to challenge Adeleke’s win.
According to the reports, the legal team members dissociate themselves from the case and clarify that they are not responsible for filing or pursuing the petition. The accounts describe this move as an “u-turn” by the party in the context of ongoing legal or political uncertainty following the election.
While both outlets focus on the same development—APC’s legal representatives denying involvement in the petition—the framing differs slightly. One outlet emphasizes the party’s internal disarray, while the other centers on a direct statement from the legal team to a journalist. Both agree that the dispute concerns Adeleke’s election victory and involves an APC petition that the legal team says it does not support or handle.
