Osun State Governor and Accord Party governorship candidate, Ademola Adeleke, has called on voters to reject the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the August 15 governorship election, accusing the opposition of failing civil servants while it was in power.
In a series of posts shared on his X account on Thursday, Adeleke appealed to residents to support his re-election, arguing that the state should not return to what he described as a period of hardship for workers under the APC administration.
He wrote, “We will not allow APC to take Osun back to the days when civil servants had to beg their neighbours for food.
“I call on the good people of Osun State to brace up for just a few more days.
Those who once weaponised poverty by paying workers half salaries, leaving civil servants to struggle to feed their families, and denying our people access to basic necessities are desperate to return to inflict more pain.
“We must never go back to those dark days.
“On August 15, I urge every eligible voter to send a clear and resounding message that Osun has chosen the path of progress, compassion, and good governance.
Together, we will protect the mandate of the people and keep Osun moving forward ACCORDINGLY.”
In another post, the governor maintained that his administration has consistently prioritised the welfare of civil servants since taking office, contrasting his government’s record with that of the APC.
“APC’s disdain for civil servants is well known in Osun State. Since I became governor, I have made the welfare of our workers and the people of Osun State a top priority.
“I am confident that the unjust freezing of state accounts will only strengthen the resolve of our people to do everything necessary to ensure Osun never returns to the era of darkness.
“The choice is clear: progress over regression, good governance over neglect. Accord over APC,” the governor stated.
The Osun governorship election is slated for August 15, with Adeleke seeking a fresh mandate on the platform of the Accord Party.
