Coalition Warns of Plot to Justify Emergency Rule in Osun Ahead of 2026 Election
A coalition of civil society groups alleges a coordinated plan to trigger unrest in Osun State ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship poll. It claims the violence is meant to justify a state of emergency, remove Governor Adeleke’s administration and sway the election. Attacks on motor parks and disruptions to commerce are already reported in parts of the state. The coalition accuses some police officers of shielding political thugs instead of containing violence. It urges security agencies to stay neutral and protect lives and property. The group calls on the Federal Government and international bodies to monitor Osun closely and support a peaceful, credible electoral process. It pledges to mobilise Nigerians lawfully against any move to subvert democracy.
