Osun APC Raises Alarm Over Alleged Plot to Instigate Violence, Warns Accord Party

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised an alarm over what it described as a purported plan by the Accord Party to orchestrate coordinated violence across parts of the state ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election.

In a statement issued on Monday by its Director of Media and Information, Mogaji Kola Olabisi, the APC alleged that there were “leaked intelligence” suggesting a plot to import individuals from outside the state to cause disturbances in major towns, with the intention of framing opposition supporters.

According to Olabisi, the alleged plan included the distribution of fake campaign materials allegedly bearing APC insignia to mislead the public and security agencies.

“We have uncovered an underground plot by the Accord Party leadership to sponsor and coordinate crises across Osun State. The intention, as revealed, is to dress hired thugs in APC-branded materials to give a false impression that our members are responsible for the anticipated violence,” the statement read.

He further alleged that the objective was to discredit the opposition party and sway public opinion ahead of the forthcoming election.

The APC spokesman urged residents of the state to remain vigilant and report any suspicious movements to security agencies.

“We are calling on residents to be alert and report any suspicious persons or activities to the appropriate authorities. Osun State must not be allowed to descend into chaos because of political desperation,” Olabisi stated.

He also called on security agencies to act swiftly to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

“We urge the police and other security agencies to take proactive steps to prevent what we consider a sinister plan to disrupt public peace in the state,” he added.

The APC also took a swipe at the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke, accusing it of misgovernance and political desperation.

However, as of the time of filing this report, the Accord Party had yet to issue an official response to the allegations.
