Osun election: Law enforcement politicised – SDP chieftain, Adebayo

Adewole Adebayo, presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Nigeria's 2027 gubernatorial election, has accused law enforcement of being politicized in the upcoming election on August 15, 2026. Adebayo made these claims during a live interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show, expressing deep concerns over the state of Nigeria's electoral system.

He noted that violence had already been witnessed in Osun State in the lead-up to the polls, and that unfair practices had proliferated. "The lesson we can learn is that 2027 should not be like the Osun election because, if it is, we are starting on the wrong foot," Adebayo warned. He lamented that in Osun, law enforcement has been politicized.

"From the point of view of the SDP, we just got our governorship candidate recognized only yesterday, and debates have taken place, campaigns have taken place. Everything that needs to be done has been done."
