Osun Election: ‘Why destroy my billboards if you’re sure of winning’ – Adeleke slams APC
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has lambasted the All Progressives Party, APC, for allegedly destroying his campaign billboards.
Speaking during the Arise Television’s Town Hall for Osun governorship candidates on Tuesday, Adeleke challenged the APC to allow a free, fair and credible election in the state.
According to him, the destruction of his campaign billboards backfired at it increased public support for him.
Adeleke also denied the allegation of militarisation, clarifying that he does not have the capacity and authority to mobilise the Armed Forces.
“If you know that you can win, why are you destroying my billboards? And I told my people, don’t destroy their billboards. Leave it. Your governor is a peaceful person. Let the whole world see what they are doing, and they don’t know they are kicking themselves on the leg.
“The more they hurt us, the more people love us. Why would you do that if you know you can win? It’s only mouth. It’s only propaganda. So that was what happened.
“Well, I did not militarise. I don’t have that capacity. I am not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces but Mr President. And of course, I am not the Chief of Army Staff. I am not the Inspector-General of Police,” Adeleke said.

Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has criticized singer Davido’s call for United States President Donald Trump to intervene in the forthcoming Osun State governorship election.
Sani made his position known in a post on his X handle shortly after Davido’s appeal.
He said those attempting to involve Trump in Nigeria’s electoral process were just wasting their time, arguing that the US President has little interest in the credibility of elections in Africa.
He said “Those who are trying to drag Mr Trump into our elections are just wasting their time.
“Trump is not Obama or Biden.He has least interest in the credibility or otherwise of elections in Africa. The elections in Tanzania,Uganda and Cameroon are case studies.
“Mr Trump’s hands is full with Strait of Hormuz,Gaza and Ukraine and most importantly,his party is battling to survive the upcoming Senate and House of Representatives elections.”
Recall that Davido had earlier called on Trump to pay attention to the Osun State governorship election.
Davido made the appeal in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, expressing concerns over rising tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation and disruption of the democratic process ahead of the poll.
