The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, has justified the loans taken by the incumbent governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola.

Oyetola said Aregbesola’s administration in which he was a key member took the loans to develop infrastructure and to provide basic amenities which were lacking as at the time he assumed office.

The APC standard bearer and the governorship candidates of other major political parties spoke at a debate organised by the Yoruba Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Ademola Adeleke, was absent at the debate, which was held on the main campus of the Osun State University, Osogbo on Friday.

The governorship candidates present at the debate include Alhaji Fatai Akinbade of the African Democratic Congress; Moshood Adeoti of the Action Democratic Party; and Senator Iyiola Omisore of the Social Democratic Party.

Oyetola said, “The debt situation in the state is not precarious, repayment terms are being followed with early 2019 exit from one of the bonds and another to be liquidated in 2020.

“The massive road construction across the state, the state-of-the-art schools are some of the projects the loans were spent on. You cannot build the Osogbo-Iwo Road without taking a loan.”

Oyetola, who promised to fix the Osogbo-Iwo Road immediately on assumption of office, insisted that the indigenes of the state who live outside the state were true citizens of the state.

Akinbade, Adeoti and Omisore promised to pay workers as and when due and effect payment of full salaries and pensions, noting that the welfare of the people would be the focus of their administrations if elected.

They also promised to plug all loopholes, develop infrastructure and ensure adequate security of lives and property of the people.

Specifically, Akinbade promised to ensure due process, accountability and transparency in the award of contracts if he won the election.

Regardless, honor the invitation and demonstrate leadership.

They should pity Adeleke oo

The guy is probably busy rehearsing his dance moves for his rally where davido will feature.

The guy will shaku shaku, breakdance, twerk, do splits and all latest dance moves.

He does not need words

That guy that mentioned maltina dance all has finished me with laughter here

senatordave1:

Hmmm

Even the people who performed creditably well during debates are not performing during practicals. Kogi Governor as a case study

Am not saying that he shouldn't honour invitation s,,, but of what import is the gubernatorial debates to the masses.

The Adeleke guy should not be subjected to the rigours of a debate.

The F9 parallel in his report card is not random . He would have automatically lose the election if he shows his intelligence on TV

Na u and Kogi gov debate together abi

Na only adeleke family dey osun? Rubbish. nothing for the the mumu dancer

yemaldo:

Na today government they freeze account? Obj freeze Lasgidi account for good two years, hunger delt with civil servants in Lagos, the people know what's up and still vote Tinubu.
Let Adeleke Wabantu SHAME APC, by convincing the people of Osun to vote for him.
Is he not an imposter?, did he won that primary election?, we watch the SHAM that Dickson conducted and called primary election, on the TV.
All he needed was to retain his seat and a pillow, so that he can sleep at the Senate chamber, after dancing shaku shaku all over the place, abi you have not heard of the sleeping Senator like Barnabas Gemade?.
But no he will rather short change others through buying of ticket, I will bet on it that Adeleke will not win the election, where e wan pass gan self?.
Oshun people are too serious minded for the RUBBISH that Adeleke stands for and this is a fact.

Unfortunately people that shun election always win in Nigeria. Am yet to see a politician that won a debate that also won an election
