Lawyer Maduabuchi Idam has warned that Nigerians should not anticipate a free and fair gubernatorial election in Osun State, set to take place next Saturday. Idam likened the expectation of a free and fair election in Osun to the unlikely scenario of the Nigerian currency, Naira, being equivalent to one U.S. dollar. In a statement titled "The ruse to grab and run with the Osun mandate is alarming," Idam expressed that President Bola Tinubu fails to instill the necessary confidence for a free, fair, and credible election in Osun State.
He stated, "Expecting a free and fair election in Osun is almost like expecting ₦1 to equal $1. Under this administration, it is nearly impossible." Idam accused President Tinubu and his party of having a direct political interest in Osun, making the prospect of a free and fair election highly improbable.
