The allegations are contained In a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi.
He said the governor raised the alarm on Tuesday at the government house in Osogbo.
The governor said “the plot to freeze the state government accounts is meant to paralyse government activities ahead of the governorship election”.
When contacted for a reaction, Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesperson, promised to revert, but has not done so as of the time of filing this report.
Adeleke is seeking re-election on the Accord party platform, with the All Progressives Congress (APC) battling to reclaim the state after four years in opposition.
In recent weeks, Osun has witnessed political violence, with members of both camps engaged in clashes as they seek to consolidate early gains ahead of the poll.
Speaking on Monday at a campaign rally in Olorunda LGA, the governor urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the pre-election violence rocking the state, warning against a repeat of the 1983 political crisis in the south-west.
He argued that the recent endorsement of Tinubu’s re-election bid by Accord in Osun should earn the state some reprieve from the president.
According to him, the president’s intervention is necessary to halt the “loss of innocent lives” in the state.
He said, “all we are asking for is simply a free and fair election”.
