The Osun State chapter of the Accord Party has expressed concern over what it described as a plot to steal sensitive election materials ahead of the August 15 governorship election.
In a statement signed by the State Chairman, Pastor Victor Babalola Akande, the party claimed it had received credible intelligence suggesting that opposition elements were planning to compromise the electoral process by diverting or concealing materials meant for polling units.
According to the party, such disruption could disenfranchise thousands of voters and undermine the credibility of the election. “The alleged plot is aimed at preventing the timely deployment of sensitive election materials to selected polling units across the state,” the statement read.
Accord urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure strict accountability in the storage, movement, and distribution of materials, while calling on security agencies—including the Police, DSS, and NSCDC—to investigate the intelligence and take preventive action.
The party warned that it would resist, through lawful means, any attempt to manipulate the process, stressing that the will of the people must not be subverted. It also appealed to residents to remain peaceful, vigilant, and report suspicious activities to authorities.
“The August 15 governorship election is a significant moment for democracy in Osun State. All stakeholders must ensure the process is conducted without interference or acts capable of undermining its credibility,” the statement concluded.
