APC, Adeleke clash over N1trn allocation claim

By Shina Abubakar

OSOGBO — THE All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State, and Governor Ademola Adeleke disagreed yesterday, over the allocation accrued to the state in the last three months and how it was expended.

While the APC Chairman, Mr Tajudeen Lawal, challenged Governor Adeleke to account for the N1 trillion allocations received by his government from November 2022 to September 2025, the governor denied receiving a trillion as allocation within the period.

Mr Lawal, in a statement, said: “Our findings proved that the Adeleke government received N25 billion from Nov-Dec. 2022; N182 billion in 2023; N333 billion in 2024 and N310 billion from Jan-Sept 2025, with little or nothing to show for it.

“In just three months, July-Sept 2025, the Adeleke-led administration received N124 billion, representing an average of N41 billion per month, yet Osun citizens are gasping for breath and survival on account of the hopeless economic policy of Governor Adeleke.

“It is pathetic that despite  the N310 billion made thus far this year, the Osun State government has only disbursed N7.8 billion of the N27 billion, representing 29 per cent, budgeted for capital projects in the education sector in the fiscal year.”

APC’s claim is fake — Osun gov

However, Governor Adeleke in a statement by his Spokesperson, Mr Olawale Rasheed, said the claim that his administration received one trillion was fake.

While describing the APC as a party that has run out of ideas amidst its single digit popularity rating, the Spokesperson said Governor Adeleke from 2022 to date has not received anything near N1 trillion and has judiciously managed state resources.

He said: “Our target is meeting the crucial and critical needs of the state in the area of health, infrastructure, education, business financing, cooperative empowerment, sports development, agriculture, technology development, workers’ welfare and pension management.

“Only an anti-people party will claim not to see the almost 322 kilometers of roads across the state, the 200 health centre renovations, the rehabilitation of more than 100 schools, the ongoing dualisation across several towns.”

, the ongoing upgrading and rehabilitation of several water works, the multibillion naira local and grassroots development projects, the flyover bridges, the new tractors, the ongoing renovation and upgrading of Osogbo stadium to a five star standard among others.

“Only a party set for another rejection in 2026 will deny the payment of half salaries owed workers and which the APC failed to pay while it governed the state.

“Governor Adeleke has reduced the humongous Osun debt stock by 40 percent, according to the Federal Debt Management Office. Yet, he has not borrowed a kobo from 2022 to date. Out of selflessness, the governor is not collecting security votes and instead ensures that security expenditures are treated and processed within the approval system.”
