    Looting of Osun has been stopped –  Adeleke drops bombshell

    Looting of Osun has been stopped –  Adeleke drops bombshell.

    The Governor of Osun, Ademola Adeleke, has declared that he dismantled the influence of political godfathers who previously exploited the state’s resources, ensuring that Osun’s finances are now channelled directly into development projects.

    While on an interview with Channels TV, Adeleke disclosed that his administration’s strict financial discipline and aggressive revenue generation strategies had enabled him to meet ambitious infrastructural targets despite inheriting a massive debt burden.

    “I blocked all the leakages to the extent that no godfather can take advantage of the system,” he stated.

    “Where it’s not necessary to spend money, I block it. I am a very prudent administrator. I check it myself, that is why I am successful. I didn’t owe anybody any favours because nobody financed my campaign.”

    Adeleke, who assumed office amidst financial turmoil with a debt profile of N60 billion, revealed that his government has been steadily repaying the debt while expanding the state’s infrastructure.

    “Infrastructure is very important. I’m not just doing the ones people will see; I go into the villages because our people are mostly farmers. If they don’t have good roads, how will they bring their goods to town?” he explained.

    “I had a N100 billion infrastructure plan, and people thought it was impossible, but in two years, I met the target.”

    According to the governor, his administration has constructed about 150 kilometres of roads across Osogbo and other cities, ensuring that even smaller towns benefit from at least 1.5 kilometres of road projects.

    He also highlighted the installation of streetlights across newly constructed roads, transforming the state’s night-time scenery.

    Looting of Osun has been stopped – Adeleke drops bombshell.

    Adeleke credited his achievements to a revamped Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) system, which has reduced financial wastage and optimised state earnings.

    He also confirmed that Osun is now generating revenue from its long-abandoned mining sector.

    “They abandoned it before now, but I have restarted it, and we are now making money from mining. We even have a shareholder license—it has never happened before,” he revealed.

    The governor further stated that he has refrained from personally accessing security votes, opting instead to allocate the funds strictly for security-related matters as needed.

    “I don’t collect security votes, it’s there. I use it monthly for whatever security challenge we have,” he stated.
