The Imole Campaign Council condemns the alleged use of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, by the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, to target and arrest key Accord Party leaders and grassroots mobilizers across Osun State ahead of the August 15, 2026 gubernatorial election.
Our intelligence confirms that Gboyega Oyetola, embittered by his 2022 loss, is rattled by the growing and unstoppable support for the Accord Party in Osun State, prompting the former Governor to remote-control the Inspector-General of Police to issue arbitrary arrest warrants and unleash a crackdown on leaders of the party.
We condemn the brazen misuse of state power and federal security institutions by Gboyega Oyetola. Having lost touch with the electorate, and with the imminent defeat of his lackey candidate, the Minister is controlling the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, to pursue a path of intimidation, harassment, and political persecution.
The latest of the spate of arrests is that of Hon. Mayowa Adejoorin, a sitting commissioner, who was stripped naked yesterday by the police taking orders from Oyetola. He was ordered to remove his boxers and underwear singlet just to humiliate him. That is a sitting Honourable Commissioner, arrested for committing no offence other than supporting Governor Ademola Adeleke.
We state unequivocally that the Accord Party will not be intimidated. No amount of state-sponsored harassment, unlawful arrests, or political witch-hunts will deter us.
We call on the international community, the media, civil society organizations, and local and international election observers to intervene and protect Osun State from the subversion of democracy and the will of the people by a few individuals.
We urge all Accord Party members, supporters, and the resilient people of Osun State to remain calm, law-abiding, and vigilant.
