African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, Dele Momodu has claimed that the Federal Government would not permit a free and fair election in Osun State on Saturday, August 15.

Momodu, an ally of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun, stated this in an X post directed to the governor.

Adeleke, who is seeking re-election, is the candidate of the Accord Party.

According to Momodu, the All Progressives Congress intends to use the Osun governorship election as dress rehearsal for the 2027 general election.

He alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is under the “complete control” or President Bola Tinubu of APC and could not be trusted to conduct a free and fair poll.

The Ovation publisher advised the Osun governor to prepare for any eventuality.

Sharing a photo of himself with Adeleke, Momodu said, “My Twin Brother, I’m led in spirit to send you this brief message, for posterity sake.

“PLEASE, take note of the following: A. Let no one deceive you that INEC, under the complete control of PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU will organize free, fair and credible ELECTION in OSUN State next week, AUGUST 15, 2026…

“The ruling APC government is determined to use your election as the dress rehearsal for their nefarious preparation for the Presidential election in January 2027.

“The devil has taken possession of their hardened souls and they’re ready to play GOD because of POWER…

“B. We have a lot of friends in APC and we’ve been warned to expect ANY eventuality.

“The instruction to their foot-soldiers is simple: GRAB OSUN by any means NECESSARY and deal with the resultant volcano thereafter…

“C. Pls, hold on tightly to GOD as you’ve always been. We are proud of the uncommon work you’ve done, and doing. Let them campaign with the work they did in the past… Little or nothing to show…” (The Sun)
