Osun 2026: Accord Party petitions Tinubu, IGP over alleged police intimidation
Barely two weeks before the 15 August governorship election in Osun State, the Accord Party has petitioned President Bola Tinubu, Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu and others over what it described as the police’s pattern of intimidation and politically motivated arrests targeting its members.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Accord’s National Chairman, Maxwell Mgbudem, alleged that police actions in recent weeks had disproportionately targeted the party ahead of the governorship election.
The petition comes after months of heightened tension between the ruling party and the police, including the controversial raid on the residence of Secretary to the State Government Teslim Igbalaye, the arrest of party officials and sustained demands by the party and civil society groups for the redeployment of the state’s Commissioner of Police.
