Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, has raised the alarm over an alleged plot to disrupt voting in his hometown, Ede, during Saturday’s governorship election.
Adeleke, who spoke after casting his vote at Unit 9, Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde, Ede North Local Government Area, alleged that a police officer identified as “London” from Port Harcourt had been brought to Osun State to disrupt the voting process in Ede.
He called on the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, and other security agencies to take note of the allegation and “do the needful”.
“I understand that the APC brought him to Osun State to carry out a hatchet job and cause disruption in my town, Ede, so that people will not be able to vote. I want the IGP, the Police Commissioner for the election, the DIG for the election, and all security agencies to take note and do the needful,” Adeleke said.
The governor also alleged that there were plans to bypass the normal collation process from polling units to wards and local government areas and move the process directly to a collation centre.
He insisted that the established procedure must be followed, saying, “This is not acceptable. They must follow the rules, and that is why I am alerting my people to watch out”.
Adeleke urged residents of Ede to remain vigilant while expressing confidence that he would win the election.
“I know that, by the special grace of God, I will win this election,” he said.
