Adeleke’s remarks follow Aregbesola’s boast on Sunday that the African Democratic Congress would unseat Adeleke in 2026.
OSOGBO — Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has launched a fierce attack on his predecessor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, describing his tenure as the “worst in Osun’s history.”
Adeleke’s remarks follow Aregbesola’s boast on Sunday that the African Democratic Congress would unseat Adeleke in 2026.
In a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke accused Aregbesola of leaving a legacy of hardship and mismanagement.
“The empty boast of Mr. Aregbesola about 2026 is a symptom of a troubled mind battling his benefactor and haunted by the suffering he inflicted on millions of Osun people through his evil policies and programmes,” Adeleke said.
He cited unpaid half salaries, misused pension funds, and N60 billion in cleared debts.
“A man who should be remorseful and tender public apologies… has the audacity to attack a Governor who is paying up the half salary affliction,” he added, warning that voters would reject a return to “the dark days.”
