The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has warned the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke against allegedly victimising local government workers over their political affiliations.
The warning was contained in a statement signed by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi.
The APC alleged that some council workers were being subjected to investigations and disciplinary proceedings for allegedly supporting the opposition party during the August 15, 2026, governorship election.
According to the party, the Osun State Local Government Service Commission constituted a committee to investigate workers suspected of supporting the APC. It alleged that the committee is chaired by Tunji Adeleke Jnr, whom it identified as the governor’s nephew and chairman of the commission.
The party further claimed that some workers had been summoned before an investigative and disciplinary panel at the commission’s premises in Abere, Osogbo, where they were questioned about their political activities and contacts before and during the election.
The APC also alleged that some workers were ordered to submit their mobile phones for scrutiny, with their messages and communications examined for possible links to APC members and supporters.
The party described the alleged actions as “inhuman, barbaric, and unconstitutional,” warning the state government against victimising local government employees based on their political affiliations.
