**Osun Governorship Poll: APC, Adeleke Engage in War of Words Ahead of August 15 Election** Tensions are running high in Osun State as the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) exchange bitter words over the re-election bid of Governor Ademola Adeleke ahead of the August 15 governorship poll. The APC, which has been trying to wrestle power from the PDP in the state, has been questioning Governor Adeleke's qualification to contest the election. According to the APC, the governor does not meet the constitutional requirement of being a member of the APC for a period of one year before contesting an election. In a statement, the APC accused Governor Adeleke of defecting to the PDP from the APC about a year ago, thereby making him ineligible to contest the election. The party also claimed that the governor's nomination by the PDP is a clear case of impunity and disregard for the law. However, Governor Adeleke's camp has hit back at the APC, describing the party's allegations as a mere attempt to distract the people of Osun State from the party's poor performance in the state. The governor's spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, claimed that the APC's allegations are a desperate attempt to discredit the governor and undermine the credibility of the election. The Osun governorship poll is one of the most closely watched elections in the country, with both the APC and the PDP fighting for control of the state. The election is expected to be fiercely contested, with both parties deploying all their arsenals to win the hearts and minds of the people. For Nigerians, the Osun governorship poll is a test of the country's democratic credentials. Will the APC's allegations against Governor Adeleke hold water, or is it just a case of political mischief? Only time will tell. One thing is certain, however - the people of Osun State will be the ultimate winners or losers in this election, depending on how it turns out.
