Osun Governor 1 (1) (1).webp
The Digest:

Governor Ademola Adeleke has lashed out at Rauf Aregbesola, accusing him of leaving Osun State with a legacy of unfulfilled projects, massive debt, and half salaries. As Aregbesola mobilizes support for the 2026 election, Adeleke promises better governance moving forward.


Key Points:
  • Adeleke criticizes Aregbesola for leaving Osun with a debt burden and unfinished projects.
  • Aregbesola allegedly threatens to oust Adeleke in the 2026 governorship election.
  • Adeleke's administration has reduced the debt by 40% and improved state services.
  • Adeleke has paid ₦60bn in pension arrears left by Aregbesola’s administration.
  • The governor has completed 200 km of roads and rehabilitated over 200 schools.
  • Adeleke highlights the success of his administration in healthcare, with over 30,000 pensioners now covered by free insurance.
  • Aregbesola’s boast about the 2026 election is dismissed as misguided and lacking public support.

Adeleke asserts that Osun’s people are ready to reject Aregbesola’s legacy, which left the state in financial ruin. The 2026 elections will serve as a chance to pay back the former governor for his damaging policies.
