Rauf Aregbesola, national secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), says he is the first Nigerian governor to complete eight years in office without owning a personal house. In a video addressed to his followers, he claims he stayed in a friend’s house during his tenure as governor of Osun State. He challenges others to “show” the house he owns, arguing that his statement is verifiable. The reports describe Aregbesola as a former ally of President Bola Tinubu and a former Minister of Interior under the late President Muhammadu Buhari. The outlets also note that he served as governor of Osun State from 2019 to 2018, and that he previously discussed goals for the state during his administration, including efforts aimed at reducing poverty and hunger, addressing unemployment, promoting healthy living, improving education, and supporting communal peace and progress. The coverage is based on his public remarks in the video and related statements, with no independent verification of the housing claim reported in the sources.
