Adeleke Administration Scores Zero in Service Delivery, Value Addition

By Kolapo Alamu

The Director-General of the Osun 2026 Governorship Campaign Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Oluwole Oke, has rated the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke zero in terms of service delivery and value addition, accusing the government of failing to meet the expectations of the people of the state.

Oke, a five-term member of the House of Representatives representing the Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency, made the remarks on Tuesday during a media chat with members of the Osun Online Publishers Association (OOPA) at the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Office in Osogbo.

The APC chieftain alleged that residents had lost confidence in public institutions, particularly in the education sector.

Oke criticised the state’s water supply situation, claiming that many residents in rural area rely on streams for drinking water due to the absence of adequate public water infrastructure.

The lawmaker accused the Adeleke administration of executing substandard road projects.

According to him, “Go to public schools in Osun; go to the rural areas. Farmers can no longer confidently send their children to public schools because they have lost faith in government institutions.

“There is no water supply. People resort to streams contaminated with disease-causing organisms for their drinking water. We will put an end to that. We will develop surface water resources, improve our dams, refurbish them, and reset our water infrastructure to provide people with quality, potable drinking water.

“Today in Osun, every citizen is practically a government unto themselves. You provide your own water, generate your own electricity, patronise private hospitals, and send your children to private schools, yet you are still required to pay taxes. So, what is the benefit of government to the citizens?

“Talking about roads, many of the roads they have constructed are poorly executed. Take, for instance, the Ota-Ile–Ilare–Esa-Odo road; whenever it rains, parts of it are washed away. In terms of service delivery and value addition, I score this government zero.

“On that basis, that Osun State citizens, voters and the electorate will vote out this government on the 15th of August, 2026, we have done our work, and I can assure you, go and find out, my brother, Governor Ademola Adeleke is already packing his bags out of government.

“You can see he is no longer going to parties dancing; he is already packing his bags and baggage. In fact, he lives more in Lagos now because he knows that the reality is that he cannot make it,” Oke added.

Speaking on the APC’s strategy ahead of the August 15, 2026 governorship election, Oke said the party was focused on engaging residents and convincing them that they deserve better governance.

“It is about strategy, engagement, and telling the people of Osun that they deserve better. It is about convincing them that the incumbent government has not been fair to them. They have failed and squandered the people’s resources,” he said.
