By John Alechenu

The Imole Campaign Council of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has written to the British High Commission in Abuja over developments ahead of the August 15 governorship election in the state.

Spokesperson of the council, Pelumi Olajengbesi, who led the delegation to submit a petition to the High Commission in Abuja on Friday, also told journalists that the Osun poll would serve as a major indicator of Nigeria’s preparedness for the 2027 general elections.

Olajengbesi said: “We have written to the British High Commission on the current political situation in Osun State. The people of Osun will proceed to vote on the 15th of August, 2026.

“This election is important to Nigeria and the world. It is a major test of the integrity of INEC, the Inspector General of Police and our institutions to know if we are prepared to conduct a free, fair and credible election in 2027.”
