Osun Election: ADC Raises Alarm over Alleged Plot to Arrest Aregbesola

The party said credible reports point to a move against Rauf Aregbesola as 2.3 million voters prepare for Saturday’s governorship election.

  • The African Democratic Congress raised an alarm on Wednesday over alleged plans to arrest National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola ahead of Saturday's Osun State gubernatorial election.
  • Aregbesola, a former Osun State Governor and Minister of the Federal Republic, left the APC in July 2025 following a power struggle with successor Gboyega Oyetola and President Bola Tinubu.
  • On Saturday, 2,339,233 eligible voters will participate across 332 wards in 30 local government areas of Osun State to elect a new governor.
  • National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi warned the APC Federal Government against 'misuse of state institutions,' demanding adherence to established procedures for any lawful invitation.
  • Following unsuccessful bye-elections in June across six states, the ADC's strength faces scrutiny as the Osun election becomes a critical test for the party's 2027 relevance.
