Sure, I’ll rewrite the blog post using easy-to-understand language. I’ll add some user intent and interest by demonstrating examples where necessary.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State is upset. They say the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, is using police officers to scare, arrest, and hurt members of the APC, which is the main opposition party in the state.
According to APC, many of their important members have been asked questions and investigated by the police, just because the governor told them to do so.
The APC leader, Tajudeen Lawal, gave a statement on Friday that was shared by DAILY POST. He said the governor’s actions are meant to trap APC members and make their lives difficult.
For example, Mr. Akin Adeyi, who is a well-known member of the APC and talks a lot about politics on social media, was called by the police many times in a few days. The calls came from the Zone 11 Command of the Nigeria Police in Osogbo. These calls were made because of silly complaints by someone who works for the governor.
More information showed that police officers from both Zone 11 and the Osun State Police Command were calling other APC members too, also about silly complaints.
Lawal asked the top boss of the police, the Inspector-General, to tell Zone 11 and the State Command to stop letting politicians use them for their bad plans.
Lawal said, “In a democracy, the opposition is important. Any government must accept this, otherwise it could become a dictatorship.”
Lawal mentioned that Adeyi has now gone to court to protect his rights at the Federal High Court in Osogbo. So, the police should leave him alone.
Meanwhile, the leader of Osun Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sunday Bisi, made a statement saying the APC should accept the laws. He reminded everyone that laws are made to guide people’s actions and create a peaceful society.
Bisi said that Osun is part of Nigeria, where cyberstalking (bothering people online) and cyberbullying (being mean online) are serious crimes. These laws were made when the APC was leading Nigeria and they apply everywhere in the country.
He explained that under the Cybercrimes Act of 2015, people who cyberstalk or cyberbully can face up to 10 years in jail or fines of up to N25 million, among other punishments.
Bisi mocked the APC for criticizing the police, saying they should bring their lawyers to defend Akin Adeyi. He said the public is smart and won’t easily fall for APC’s tricks.
Bisi wondered what happened to the APC, especially since Adeyi had previously praised the police for treating him well. Now, Adeyi is calling the police bad names.
Lastly, Bisi told the police to continue their job of keeping the peace and not to listen to the APC’s bad plans.
