Account for how you plunged Osun into misery, Adeleke fires back at Aregbesola

GOVERNORSHIP candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator  Ademola Adeleke, has fired back at Governor Rauf Aregbesola, tasking him to account for how he plunged the state into indebtedness and misery.

Reacting to the governor’s questioning of his qualification for governorship, Adeleke in turn raised questions about the shady engineering credentials of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, saying “the 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’ emoluments.

“Our people will be interested in knowing how misery and poverty have trippled under Aregbesola’s watch,” Adeleke said.

He noted that in the September 22 governorship election, the determining yardstick would be the welfare of the people, which has nosedived under the Aregbesola administration, adding  that “all efforts to divert attention from reality will be rejected by the people.

“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 a solution provider, not a harbinger of half salary and repressive governance,” Adeleke retorted.

He restated his committement to bettering the  lives of Osun people through his six-point agenda, adding “our first focus will be to tackle poverty and restore worker’s welfare.”
