Osun PDP Criticizes APC’s Allegation Of Misrule By Adeleke As Desperate Move

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has characterized recent accusations from the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a clear sign of desperation.

In a statement attributed to its chairman, Sunday Bisi, and made available to BUSHRADIOGIST on Wednesday, the party expressed its stance:

“Observing the reactions and actions of the state APC, it’s evident that Governor Adeleke has significantly outperformed the opposition. The reactionary approach of disseminating propaganda and intentional misinformation has further diminished the opposition’s credibility to below 10 percent, while Governor Adeleke’s approval rating remains remarkably high.

“The opposition must acknowledge that Governor Adeleke, nearing the mid-term, has exceeded their achievements between 2018 and 2022.

“In just a year and a half in office, Governor Adeleke has accomplished what the previous administration couldn’t in four years. During this period, significant development has been initiated in education, healthcare, water supply, infrastructure, and workers’ welfare.

“A party that failed to settle half of the salary debt and pension arrears while in power has no grounds to point fingers at the Adeleke administration, which is actively clearing those debts and improving the lives of workers and pensioners.

“Osun State takes pride in Governor Adeleke’s decision to forgo security votes, instead allocating such funds to state development.”

Previously, the Osun APC, in its own statement signed by chairman Tajudeen Lawal, had accused Governor Adeleke of negligence towards state workers.

The Osun APC had criticized Adeleke for attending the 82nd birthday celebration of Juju music legend Ebenezer Obey while civil servants and pensioners in the state awaited their March salaries.

Lawal remarked, “While it’s commendable for a governor to honor a distinguished Nigerian like Chief Ebenezer Obey, the timing was highly inappropriate for a mediocre governor who has failed to fulfill his statutory obligations at home, despite increased federal allocation to the state.

“Adeleke’s public singing and dancing at the Sheraton Hotel represent an embarrassing display of executive conduct, tarnishing Osun State’s reputation globally.

“Is there any justifiable reason for a governor who couldn’t properly account for N39.5 billion Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in 2023, various Federal Government palliative supports exceeding N13 billion, and other revenues from donor agencies, to engage in public revelry?
