National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, has revealed that he lived in a friend’s house throughout his eight-year tenure as governor of Osun State, insisting he never owned a personal residence while in office.
The former governor made the disclosure in a video shared with his supporters, where he reflected on his years in government and his administration’s priorities.
According to Aregbesola, “I’m the first governor in Nigeria to rule a state for eight years without owning a house of my own.”

He further said, “I stayed in my friend’s house for eight years as a governor in my father’s land. Whoever says that what I’m saying is not true should come out and show me the house I own.”
The former Minister of Interior under the administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari governed Osun State from 2010 to 2018.
Reflecting on his stewardship, Aregbesola said his government was driven by a commitment to improve the lives of residents through policies aimed at reducing poverty, hunger and unemployment.
He said his administration also prioritised healthy living, functional education, communal peace and overall development across the state.
