We lost the election not because we were not popular but because some powers believed that we must deal with Oyetola to stop Tinubu from becoming President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also said the 2026 governorship election in Osun State will see Adegboyega Oyetola defeating Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, hands down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOyetola contesting in 2026 will defeat the PDP hands down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akere also insisted that the former governor was never the enemy of civil servants in the state as he never owed them salaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOyetola was never the enemy of civil servants. All through his administration, there was not a single protest from students. He paid bursary and did not make noise about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe never intervened in the running of higher institutions and doesn\u2019t encourage illegalities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akere criticised the Ademola Adeleke administration for being wasteful of resources and insincerity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre we comparing what Osun State was earning under Oyetola and to what Adeleke is earning?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Adeleke took in 23 months is what Oyetola took for 48 months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre we comparing the quality of jobs being done. We did the Olaiya Flyover with N2.9 billion and they are doing the same Flyover at Okefia for N10 billion. Almost all the roads are peeling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have not left and their roads are already giving way. The roads Baba Bisi Akande did when he was state governor are still there till today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ile-Ife Flyover the administration said will cost N19 billion, if the administration take N9 billion from it to repair all the roads in Ile-Ife, that town will be better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
