A former governor of Osun State,
Senator Isiaka Adeleke, who is in the All Progressives Congress, has
alleged intimidation from the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic
Party.
Adeleke spoke after his accreditation in Ede on Saturday.
He described the electoral process as peaceful so far, but decried the incidents leading up to the event.
He said, “So far, so good. People are trooping out and I hope it continues like this. Although, the process is peaceful now but the events leading up to today has not been peaceful. Some police officers, SSS men and soldiers came to my mother’s house, where I stay around 1am this morning banging the gate.
“I saw one of those that came, a PDP member, pointing at the house to say this is the place. But they were repelled by my own security forces. Some people have been detained in the state, like the State Attorney General, the Commissioner for Agriculture and Bayo Salami.”
The PDP deputy governorship candidate, Rafiu Bello, is also from Ede and the battle for the soul of the town will be keenly fought by the APC stalwart, Adeleke and Bello.
Adeleke however expressed confidence that APC would win in his town.
“I am hopeful that I can deliver Ede to APC,” he said.
