Osun State Governor and Accord Party governorship candidate, Ademola Adeleke, has urged residents to vote against the All Progressives Congress in the August 15 governorship election, accusing the opposition of neglecting civil servants during its time in office.
In a post on X on Thursday, Adeleke alleged that workers in the state suffered hardship under the APC administration and appealed to eligible voters to support his re-election bid.
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 a separate post, the governor defended his administration’s record on workers’ welfare, saying civil servants had remained a priority since he assumed office.
“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 scheduled to hold on August 15, with Adeleke seeking another term under the Accord Party platform.
