Adeleke: Osun APC in Acute Depression After Failing to Stop My Mega Projects in Iwo, Ilesa, Others

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has sharply criticized the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing it as a party in "acute political depression" for its alleged failure to impede his administration's infrastructure development agenda.

“

I have toured nine local government areas. The massive show of support is astounding. Osun people appreciate our various projects from Osogbo to Iwo to Ila to Ilesa to Ile Ife. Where Osun APC failed, my administration performed, and our people are testifying.

Adeleke, reviewing his re-election campaign after touring nine local government areas, asserted that his administration's projects meet the highest engineering and project implementation standards, incorporating a local content policy. He contrasted this with the APC's alleged actions, including the diversion of over N350 billion in local government funds, which he claims was an attempt to halt major projects.

“

The opposition diverted over N350 billion of Osun local government money in its bid to stop execution of major projects. Today, we completed the projects, and we are commissioning them to the glory of God and humanity.

"Where Osun APC failed, my administration performed, and our people are testifying," Adeleke stated, highlighting the massive support he has received across the state, from Osogbo to Iwo, Ila, Ilesa, and Ile Ife. He emphasized that his administration delivers quality projects with maintenance packages for long-term use.

“

Ever since the Osun APC failed to stop our developmental agenda, the party has fallen into disarray. It suffers from acute political depression. Its leaders are quitting daily and defecting to Accord. But the people of Osun are taking to the streets to welcome us wherever we go in the state.

The governor also warned Osun residents against what he termed "psychological warfare" by the APC, urging them not to hand over their PVCs or NINs, which he believes are plots to swindle and disenfranchise voters. He expressed confidence that the August 15th election will be free and fair, with votes determining the winner, and encouraged citizens to "defend their votes."

“

I charge Osun people to reject the current psychological warfare being waged by the Osun APC. Please don’t hand out your PVC to anyone. Don’t drop your NIN. These are plots to swindle and disenfranchise you.
