The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised the alarm over an alleged plan to arrest its National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, ahead of Saturday’s Osun State governorship election.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party said it had received “credible reports” of plans to arrest Aregbesola in the days leading to the election.
The ADC said the alleged development was particularly concerning given what it described as a pattern of “intimidation, harassment and misuse of state institutions” against opposition figures by the government.
The party noted that Aregbesola is a former Governor of Osun State, former Minister of the Federal Republic and the National Secretary of the ADC.

It said any security agency with a lawful reason to invite Aregbesola should follow established procedures, warning that an arrest on the eve of an election in which the party is participating could be interpreted as an attempt to prevent him from coordinating the party’s electoral activities.
“We therefore put the Federal Government and the security agencies on notice. The eyes of Nigerians are on Osun,” the party said.
The ADC added that developments before, during and after Saturday’s election would be judged by the actions of the authorities rather than explanations offered afterwards.
The party also warned the APC-led Federal Government against taking any action that could plunge Osun State into what it described as a “needless crisis.”
“Nigeria is still a democracy, and the government would do well to remember that before Saturday,” the ADC said.
