In a statement shared on his X account on Thursday, Adeleke urged eligible voters to support his re-election bid, adding that the state should not return to what he described as an era of hardship for public workers.
The governor alleged that civil servants experienced severe economic difficulties under the previous APC administration, claiming many struggled to provide for their families due to the payment of half salaries.
“We will not allow APC to take Osun back to the days when civil servants had to beg their neighbours for food.
“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,” he said.
Governor Adeleke appealed to voters to participate in the August 15 poll, urging them to endorse what he described as the path of progress and good governance through the Accord Party.
“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,” he stated.
In a separate message, the governor defended his administration’s record on workers’ welfare, maintaining that improving the wellbeing of civil servants had remained one of his government’s priorities since assuming office.
According to Adeleke, “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.”
He also referred to the recent freezing of the Osun State Government’s accounts, expressing confidence that the development would strengthen public resolve ahead of the governorship election.
“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 added.
