The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rauf Aregbesola, has described himself as the first governor in Nigeria’s history to govern a state without owning a house of his own.
Aregbesola, a former ally of President Bola Tinubu,
disclosed that he was staying in his friends house during his eight-year tenure
as governor of Osun State.
In a video addressing his followers, Aregbesola said: “I’m
the first governor in Nigeria to rule a state for eight years without owning a
house of his own.
“I stayed in my friend’s house for eight years as a governor
in my father’s land. Whoever says that what I’m saying is not true should come
out and show me the house I own.”
The former Minister of Interior under the administration of
the late former President Muhammadu Buhari served as governor of Osun State
from 2019 to 2018.
As governor, Argebesola outlined his goals for the state
which included to banish poverty, banish hunger, banish unemployment, restore
healthy living, promote functional education and enhance communal peace and
progress.
