Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is also the Accord Party governorship candidate, calls on residents to reject the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the August 15 governorship election. In a statement posted on his X account on Thursday, Adeleke accuses the opposition of neglecting civil servants during its time in office, saying workers faced hardship under the previous administration. He specifically cites claims of poverty and inadequate support for civil servants, warning that a vote for APC could return the state to those conditions. Adeleke also says his current administration treats workers’ welfare as a top priority and points to his record since taking office. In addition, he argues that recent government difficulties—described as the “unjust freezing” of state accounts—will not weaken public support, but instead strengthen residents’ resolve to prevent a recurrence of earlier problems. The governor frames the election as a choice between progress and regression and between good governance and neglect, urging eligible voters to back him and the Accord Party.
