Following the recent assassination attempt on the Chairman of Osogbo Local Government Area of Osun State, Asimiyu Ajibola, the Accord Party has raised the alarm over the rising insecurity across the country.
Two gunmen had reportedly opened fire on a Toyota Corolla conveying Ajibola and his associates in the MDS area of Osogbo on June 3, 2026.
The party claimed that Ajibola sustained gunshot wounds and was rushed to the University Teaching Hospital Osun State where doctors are battling to save his life.
The national chairman of the party, Maxwell Mgbudem, claimed that the assignation attempt was politically motivated because of the governorship poll slated for August 12, 2026.
Mgbudem, who described the act as wicked, outrageous, barbaric and despicable, prayed God Almighty preserve his life and grant him speedy recovery to enable him reunite with his family.
Accordingly, Mgbudem demanded investigation by the Police and Department of State Services (DSS) to unravel the masterminds of the despicable assassination attempt and their sponsors to face the full weight of the law.
