The Publicity and Organising Secretary of Omoluabi Progressives, a caucus in the ADC, Abosede Oluwaseun, said the party has uncovered an alleged fraudulent voter registration practice.
As reported by The Guardian, Oluwaseun made this known in a statement issued on Friday, August 29, 2025.
“Reports reaching the Omoluabi Progressives reveal that APC is deliberately registering people from neighbouring states—Oyo, Ondo, and even Lagos—into the Osun voters’ register.
“These individuals are being encouraged to undertake multiple registrations, aided by compromised officials within INEC. Where this proves difficult, APC operatives are allegedly transferring the voter cards of their party faithful from other states into Osun, simply because the Osun governorship election is a crucial stand-off contest.”
The ADC said the alleged plot is an attempt to rig the forthcoming governorship.
He said the 393,269 new registrations recorded in Osun within just eight days of the registration exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is a clear sign.
“This is condemnable. It is a sophisticated attempt at rigging and a direct assault on the will of the good people of Osun State.”
