2026: APC Accuses Adeleke Of Stopping Oyebamiji’s Billboards In Osogbo

Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Governor Ademola Adeleke of stopping the erection of billboards of its gubernatorial candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, in Osogbo, the state capital.

The APC said Adeleke was stifling opposition by not creating a level playing ground for the campaign activities in respect of the next year’s governorship election in the state.

Osun APC chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement issued by the party’s spokesman, Mogaji Kola Olabisi, alleged that the state government directed the O’Signage Agency not to approve the erection or pasting of any APC billboard in Osogbo.

“It was reliably gathered that the Osun State Government specifically instructed that no APC billboards should be displayed from Akoda to Osogbo City Stadium within a specific period of time between now and the period of the election,” Lawal alleged.

“Further investigation on this unlawful, anti-social and undemocratic development also revealed that the state government has ordered O’Signage Agency to identify the owners of the existing billboards across Osogbo and compensate them for a period of three years per billboard

“What could have prompted the embattled Governor Adeleke government to resort to such an unlawful, unpopular, wicked, unsustainable and cruel approach to politics and politicking if not the fear of his imminent defeat that is staring the fast-fading administration of the hitherto Peoples Democratic Party PDP)- led government that has jumped the ship to the ACCORD party?,” the statement further alleged.
