Ademola Adeleke, Executive Governor of Osun State, has called on the “good” people of the State to “brace up” for a little more while as the State gets ready for the forthcoming Governorship Election.
The Governor took to X to assure that, his government will not allow the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to plunge the State back to those days when civil servants were “beggars” and were feeding from hand to mouth.
He said, “We must never go back to those dark days.”
In a post he titled, ‘We will not allow APC to take Osun back to the days when civil servants had to beg their neighbours for food’, Adeleke said, those that “weaponized” poverty by paying “half salaries” to workers are “desperate” to clinch power again to “inflict more pain”.
Governor Adeleke posted: “I call on the good people of Osun State to brace up for just a few more days.
“Those who once weaponized poverty by paying workers half salaries, leaving civil servants to struggle to feed their families, and denying our people access to basic necessities are desperate to return to inflict more pain.
“We must never go back to those dark days.”
The Osun State Governorship Election is scheduled to take place on Saturday 15 August, 2026.
The Governor urged all “eligible voter” in the State to choose “good governance”.
Governor Adeleke further posted: “On August 15, I urge every eligible voter to send a clear and resounding message that Osun has chosen the path of progress, compassion, and good governance.
“Together, we will protect the mandate of the people and keep Osun moving forward ACCORDINGLY.”
