Listen to yourself again, Aregbe did it to please Tinubu, isn't that an eye service support? So was I wrong saying Aregbesola didn't support Oyetola first term election?

Stop bothering of uploading any pictures as you might have reached your maximum per day. Wait till tomorrow.

helinues:
Which matter? Between Aregbe and Oyetola, who is more older? Age difference made Aregbe to be lifted before Oyetola even for the fact of the family relationship between Oyetola and Aregbe. President Tinubu was selfness with that decision but we can all see what the Odale Aregbe is using to pay back.

Same Aregbesola that was more like an errand boy to president Tinubu is now shaking his yansh. Hahahaha

helinues:
Your waywardness didn't start about Apc, are you not the person pushing Sharia law across the South West states? Have you forgotten?

Did your wish about that came close to reality? Have you forgotten what we told you about it then?

You have been seeing things awkwardly lately

helinues:
You are capping nonsense. So Aregbesola supported Oyetola first term election? An incumbent supported someone and the person won narrowly.

We don't have short memory here bro

Reno Omokri probably have been mis-informed or maybe doing that for appointment sake. He has no knowledge about *“Baba Halfusa”*

Let’s help him—and anyone else misled by cheap soundbites—understand the truth.

Yes, during the 2015–2016 economic crash, **Osun, like most Nigerian states, faced a fiscal crisis.** But RAUF AREGBESOLA didn’t hide. He took responsibility.

**FACTS:**

* Junior workers (GL 1– were paid **100%**.
* Senior workers and political appointees received **modulated salaries**—a sacrifice **agreed with labour unions**, not imposed.
* **No civil servant was retrenched.**

Now, contrast that with what Reno is defending today:

* Fuel is *₦950/litre*
* Bag of rice is *₦90,000*
* Inflation is above *30%*
* Millions of Nigerians are slipping into poverty every day

Who is really making Nigerians suffer?

While facing economic storms, Aregbesola still:

✅ Fed 254,000 school children daily (UNICEF & DFID praised it)
✅ Rebuilt 3,600 classrooms across Osun
✅ Launched “Agba Osun” – welfare for the elderly where they get paid monthly
✅ Created OYES – studied by the World Bank and adopted as Blue print for Social Investment programmes Nationwide
✅ Left Osun as **lowest in poverty, crime, and 2nd-lowest in unemployment** (Source: NBS & UNDP, 2018)

That’s called governance with heart and results.

Meanwhile, Reno served in a government that:

* Presided over **massive oil theft**
* Watched the **naira collapse**
* Left no single legacy as enduring as any of Aregbesola’s initiatives

The real question is: **Are Nigerians better off now?**

Aregbesola’s record speaks for itself—loudly, clearly, and with facts.

You may not like him, but you can’t rewrite his legacy.

WizardOfNG:
Oga please stop this madness. You are not intelligent enough to be practicing spin and propaganda, using subjective and outrightly deceptive reportage, written by compromised minions, against real experience Nigerians went through.

Is it me who, out of frustration, gave up trying to get a passport under Aregbe, yet got same in two weeks under Tunji-Ojo, you want to use your rudimentary BS spin on?

Do you even know how Tunji-Ojo has revolutionised passport issuance in Nigerian commisions worldwide whereas under Argebe it was always fights, noise and virtually all out war at the Nigerian high commision in london for example?

E-Gates and many other measures nko? All this in under 2 years while wasteman Aregbe only ignobly took cartel 'cash out' operation of the Ministry of interior to a crazy level in 8 years at the expense of ordinary Nigerians.

Guy park well. This is not a joke. Stop the redundant and offensive spin. Sometimes it is classy to remain silent.

WizardOfNG:
How is is it wrong for Wike to highlight what a huge failure Aregbesola was, in 8 years as Interior Minister, in comparison to his successor Tunji-Ojo who had delivered countless solutions in 1 year the unbelievably incompetent Aregbe will never be able to do even if in office for 50 years?

Is it not right to show Nigerians factually that they must never swap unprecedented success with abject failure?

Aregbe and co tout themselves as "saviours". Should their sordid record.and gross failings in public office not be exposed so Nigerians know to avoid them?

Wike's message is timely and spot-on because in politics, same as shopping in the market, it should always be "caveat emptor". Buyers beware. Nigerians should not use their thumbprint to go and buy bad and rotten market for themselves.

helinues:
Founding fathers of Apc? Who was Aregbesola years back? Is it not same Oyetola that president Tinubu always direct Aregbe to go and collect money from whenever he was broke.

Between Aregbesola and Oyetola, considering the relationship, who should have first vye for Osun state governorship?

Didn't Aregbe go against Oyetola first term which he was unable to succeed but got denied in his reelection.

Why should Aregbe be betraying those who picked him from the gutter?

Bro, even if Aregbe decided to make wrong steps, must his support also joined him in making wrong steps .

You can see what people are saying about Aregbe. That's his score card. No amount of rebranding can change a thing

Prigidypogodo:
baby boo
I'm curious
will you follow your mentor Aregbe to ADC?

BTW do you still have feelings for me ?

I sincerely thank our supporters and members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) who came out to receive me on my arrival in Lagos.

The task before us is immense, and I reminded everyone that we do not need to fight, insult, or attack anyone. When others resort to abuse or name-calling, we must rise above it. Instead, ask them one simple question: Are Nigerians better off today than they were before?

Challenge them with facts – on food inflation, the economy, the rising cost of living, and the deepening poverty affecting millions. Let our debates remain focused on the issues that matter. Articulate our position clearly and confidently. Explain why our new political home, the ADC, represents a credible and necessary alternative for Nigeria’s progress and long-term sustainability.

Forward ever. Till victory, always.

H.E Rauf Aregbesola

AMINDA:
All I know is that Tinubu can't have easy in the Southwest in 2027. The guilt tripping will not work. A godfather that cuts all his godsons to size just to prevent them from ever shinning or surpassing him is not progressive by nature.

ADC is waxxing strong in Osun, Lagos and across the Southwest.

helinues:
The coalition will make no head way as those who are leading the coalition are mostly disgruntled former Apc. Atiku, Amaechi, Aregbesola , Elrufai

Which new story are they going to tell Nigerians in 2027? You better come down from a bus heading into a lagoon

press9jatv:
Baba Afusa is a clueless goner including ADC. No hope for ADC here

helinues:
I am just laughing at Aregbesola. He's already making aroba that might hinder his generations progress.

You don't become an enemy overnight after being helped by the same person you are renegading against

LadyExcellency:
How many votes did ADC get in the last presidential election from Osun State? We want to assess their political weight.

All these non-existent structures that are in name only should rest.

7lives:
Eleregbe Aregbe has used his own hands to destroy himself.
Imagine Aregbe saying Tinubu is wearing pampers, just because he was not allowed to become a godfather in Osun.
Upon all his anti Tinubu stand and moves, Tinubu despite sickness became a president.
Aregbe that can't win his ward in Ilesha, he is not equipped enough to stop a Tinubu, na money e dey find, but na more disgrace he go collect.

Okoroawusa:
Can I personally ask you a question?

Who is Aregbesola in Nigerian politics without Tinubu?
Aregbesola was a fridge technician right here in Alimosho but was active politically. Many people thought he was a Lagosian because he was a prominent figure in Alimosho. Tinubu took him under his wings and made him a commissioner.
When Tinubu wanted to expand politically across the South West he bankrolled Aregbesola. Mark my words... Tinubu bankrolled Aregbesola to become Osun governor. That was when many of us knew he was from Osun even.
A few years down the line he made you a federal minister and this is how you repay him? If that is not witchcraft I don't know what to call it. Is Aregbesola's ambition bigger than that of Osinbajo, Fashola, Fayemi and co?
