Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has called on Governor Rauf Aregbesola to account for how he plunged Osun State into “indebtedness and misery.”
Adeleke who reacted to the questioning of his qualification to contest for the governorship post of the state by Aregbesola accused the governor of alleged shady engineering credentials.
“Fake engineer has run our state aground.
“I call on the governor to account for how he accumulated so much debt with questionable capital projects while still unable to pay salaries and pensioners’ emolument . Our people are interested in knowing how misery and poverty have trippled under his watch,” said Adeleke.
The governorship candidate noted that the determining yardstick in the coming election was the welfare of the people which he said had nosedived under Aregbesola’s administration.
He added that “all efforts to divert attention from reality would be rejected by our people.”
He added: “By the constitution and extant laws, I am qualified to run for governorship and as a Senator of the Federal republic, I have demonstrated capacity and innovation. Osun people want solution provider, not harbinger of half salary and repressive governance.”
He restated his commitment to better the lives of Osun people through his six point agenda.
He added: “Our first focus will be tackling poverty and restoring worker’s welfare.
“We will place people’s welfare first. We will stop capital flight. We will boost internal prosperity. We will patronise local artisans. Governance will be about the people, not some paymasters from Lagos.”
