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.
