Governor Adeleke Warns Against Election Rigging Ahead of August 15 Osun Governorship Election

Meta Description:
Governor Ademola Adeleke has warned against election rigging ahead of the August 15 Osun governorship election, urging President Bola Tinubu and relevant authorities to ensure a free and credible poll.


Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has warned against any attempt to manipulate the forthcoming governorship election in the state, declaring that the people of Osun will not accept electoral malpractice.

The governor made the remarks while addressing members and supporters of the Accord Party during a political gathering ahead of the August 15 governorship election. His comments came amid growing political tension and concerns raised by his party over the conduct of the forthcoming poll. 

Speaking during the event, Adeleke directed a message to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying:

> "President Tinubu, I'm the Chief Security Officer of Osun State, and I'm passing this message to you. Osun will not accept any rigging. If anybody tries to do otherwise..."



The governor said his administration is committed to protecting the democratic rights of Osun residents and insisted that every eligible voter should be allowed to cast their ballot freely without intimidation or interference. He also urged security agencies and electoral officials to discharge their responsibilities professionally and ensure that the outcome of the election reflects the will of the people. 

Adeleke's remarks come as political campaigns intensify across Osun State ahead of the August 15 governorship election, which is expected to be keenly contested. The election will see political parties battle for the state's top office under the supervision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). 

The statement has generated reactions from political stakeholders and members of the public, with supporters describing it as a call for vigilance, while others have urged all parties to avoid actions or statements capable of undermining public confidence in the electoral process.

INEC and security agencies have repeatedly assured Nigerians of their commitment to conducting a peaceful, free, fair, and credible election in accordance with the Electoral Act.

Genghis Khan: The Abandoned Boy Who Built the Largest Contiguous Empire in History

  Genghis Khan: The Abandoned Boy Who Built the Largest Contiguous Empire in History He was born as Temüjin, the son of a tribal leader on the harsh Mongolian steppe. His father was murdered when he was still a child. His family was abandoned by their own people and left to survive in one of the world's most unforgiving environments. Years later, the same boy would become Genghis Khan, the ruler who united the Mongol tribes and created the largest contiguous land empire in history. His armies would sweep across Asia and into Europe. Cities would fall before them. Powerful kingdoms would disappear. Trade routes stretching between China, Central Asia and Europe would come under Mongol control. But the story of Genghis Khan did not begin with an empire. It began with a family struggling to survive. The boy who was left behind Temüjin was born around 1162, although the exact year remains uncertain. His father, Yesügei, was a tribal leader who had arranged a marriage for his young son w...

  Queen Nzinga: The African Warrior Queen Who Fought the Portuguese for Decades Long before Angola became an independent country, powerful African kingdoms controlled large territories across the region. Among the most remarkable rulers of that era was a woman who became famous for her intelligence, diplomacy, military leadership and resistance to European expansion. Her name was Queen Nzinga Mbande, also known as Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba. Born around 1583 in the kingdom of Ndongo, in present-day Angola, Nzinga lived during a period when Portuguese forces were expanding their influence in Central Africa. The Portuguese wanted land, political control and access to the Atlantic slave trade, while African rulers fought to protect their kingdoms and independence. Nzinga eventually became one of the most determined opponents of Portuguese expansion. She negotiated with Portuguese governors, formed military alliances, used diplomacy when it benefited her and fought when negotiations ...

  Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko: How Their Marriage Crisis Turned Into a Family and Police Dispute The long-running controversy surrounding Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and Senator Ned Nwoko has taken several unexpected turns since their marital crisis became public in 2025. What initially appeared to be a private disagreement between a husband and wife later became a much bigger public story involving allegations of domestic violence, claims about substance use, custody of their children, police investigations, the arrest of Regina’s brother Sammy West, and an alleged $40,000 theft. Months later, the situation has continued to generate questions, especially after fresh reports about Regina’s relationship with members of her family and claims that Ned Nwoko has continued to support her despite their separation. Because many claims surrounding the family have circulated mainly through social media and blogs, it is important to separate what has been publicly reported from what re...

  Joseph Kony: The Warlord Who Disappeared Into Africa’s Wilderness For years, the name Joseph Kony was associated with one of Africa’s most notorious rebel movements and some of the worst crimes committed against civilians during Uganda’s long-running insurgency. Then, in 2012, millions of people who had never heard of him suddenly learned his name. A short documentary called KONY 2012, produced by the nonprofit Invisible Children, turned Kony into a global symbol of warlordism almost overnight. The film attracted more than 100 million views in just six days and generated millions of pledges demanding his arrest. But the strange part of Kony’s story is what happened afterward. Despite an international manhunt, an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, American military involvement and a multimillion-dollar reward, Joseph Kony was never captured. More than two decades after the ICC issued its arrest warrant, he remains at large. From northern Uganda to the LRA Joseph Rao Kony...
