A lawyer has challenged a traditional ruler's declaration that no presidential candidates should campaign in Osun State prior to the 2027 general election, except for incumbent President Bola Tinubu. Damilare Adenola argued that the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, did not have the authority to limit political candidates' freedom of expression and assembly.
