Verydarkman continues to drag Governor Adeleke’s sons, B-Red and Sina Rambo over luxury cars

Social media critic Verydarkman continues to question the reported purchase of luxury cars by the children of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, raising concerns about the spending habits of relatives of public officeholders.

In a video shared online, VeryDarkMan described the governor’s children as some of the “hottest boys in town” and claimed they had spent close to ₦1 billion on luxury vehicles.

 

He argued that the reported purchases raised questions about the lifestyle of the governor’s children since their father assumed office.

“Some say Adeleke had money, and so what? Is it morally right for the children of a sitting governor to spend that money on cars?” he asked.

Verydarkman also challenged those defending the purchases on the grounds that the Adeleke family was wealthy to show evidence that the children had acquired vehicles of similar value before their father became governor.

“Show me a video where they spent close to this amount on cars before their own father became a governor,” he said.

The critic further argued that money of that magnitude could potentially attract investors to Osun State if directed towards productive ventures rather than luxury spending.

“That kind of money can bring investors to the state, but they spent it on show-off and lifestyle,” he added.

However, VeryDarkMan did not provide evidence that the vehicles were purchased with public funds. His criticism focused on the perceived extravagance of the reported spending and the questions it raised about the public image of political officeholders and their families.

APC Says Adeleke Could Lose Osun Governorship Election

The All Progressives Congress has asserted that Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke is vulnerable to electoral defeat, citing his underwhelming governance record.

Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, advanced this position during an appearance on a television programme on Wednesday, expressing confidence that the APC candidate possesses sufficient backing from the electorate to unseat the incumbent.

Morka characterised Adeleke’s performance in office as dismal and deficient, pointing to deterioration across education and healthcare.

He contended that the governor has failed to deliver for the state and argued that public sentiment will determine the outcome.

Morka underscored that the Independent National Electoral Commission would conduct the election in accordance with legal obligations, and predicted that despite reports of violence, Osun voters would participate and exercise their choice for the state’s future.

The governorship election in Osun State is scheduled for August 15, 2026.

Adeleke Confident of Osun Victory as Election Tension Rises

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has expressed confidence in victory in the August 15 governorship election, provided it is conducted freely and fairly.

Speaking on Monday during his re-election campaign in Osogbo, the governor said he was confident of winning with God on his side, so long as the election was free and fair.

Alleging that members of the Accord Party were being k!lled, Adeleke appealed to President Bola Tinubu to direct the police to act professionally and impartially during the election.

He vowed that his party would not accept any attempt to rig the election, urging the President not to allow innocent people to be k!lled and to ensure the police remained neutral.

He further reminded Tinubu of his own role in Nigeria’s democratic struggle, urging him not to allow anyone to undermine it, and noted that the international community would be watching the election as a test ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Adeleke also urged the electorate to turn out en masse on election day to vote for him, calling on his supporters to come out on 15 August and defend their votes until results are declared.

He said he was ready for the election, describing the process as a revolution to be won through the ballot box.

Adeleke Warns Tinubu Against Election Crisis in Osun

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has warned President Bola Tinubu against allowing the rigging of the August 15 governorship election in the state, cautioning that doing so could trigger political violence reminiscent of 1983.

Addressing party supporters at Orita-Sabo in Olorunda Local Government Area of the state on Monday, the governor said the President must live up to his responsibility of protecting the people from police harassment.

He alleged that the President was watching without concern as political crisis unfolded in Osun at the hands of his party chieftains, despite the fact that the Accord party had endorsed him as its 2027 presidential candidate.

Adeleke stressed that as Chief Security Officer of Osun State, he expected the President, being a Yoruba man in Yoruba land, to take note of the situation, noting that some APC chieftains were fuelling political violence while Tinubu looked away.

He said all that was being demanded was a free and fair election, warning that any attempt to do otherwise could reignite the kind of political crisis witnessed in 1983, when attempts were made to rig Chief Michael Ajasin out of power in the old Ondo State.

He urged the President to call his party members and police chiefs to order, insisting that he remains the substantive governor of Osun State.

He further noted that with Accord having already endorsed Tinubu as its candidate, there was no reason for the crisis to persist, appealing to him to protect the democracy he had once fought for and not allow his associates to undermine it.

He called on the President to wake up to his responsibilities and put a stop to what he described as the ongoing shenanigans in Osun State.

Earlier, the Director-General of the Imole Campaign Council, Senator Lere Oyewumi, urged residents to troop out en masse to vote for the party as the only way to return Adeleke to office.

He said the governor’s track record was reason enough for the people to re-elect him, and called on the electorate to vote and safeguard their votes on election day.

Adeleke Alleges 60 Osun Accord Leaders Were Moved to Abuja Prisons

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke claims that despite the presence of federal and state courts in Osun, more than 60 Accord Party leaders were arrested and sent to prisons in Abuja and Nasarawa.

The governor made the claim on Thursday during a peace meeting in Osogbo, ahead of the governorship election on August 15.

In a statement posted on social media, Governor Ademola Adeleke said his government and supporters have been “under siege and att@cks for the past three months,” accusing former governor and Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, of being behind the vi0lence.

He said he should have boycotted the peace meeting given the vi0lence unleashed on Osun State in recent months, which he claimed was on Oyetola’s directive, adding that while the gathering was meant to endorse peace, his government and people continue to face police-sanctioned vi0lence and intimidation.

He further accused the Osun police command of backing att@cks on his supporters.

According to him, more than 60 Accord leaders have been arrested and taken to Abuja, where they were remanded in Abuja and Nasarawa State prisons, including an Accord House of Representatives candidate, Hon Alaba.

He questioned why the suspects were taken to Abuja when both the Federal High Court and State High Courts are available in Osun State for anyone to be arraigned.

The governor also alleged that the Secretary to the State Government, Teslim Igbalaye, was arrested on trumped-up charges after police raided his residence without a court-authorised warrant.

Adeleke said eight party members have been k!lled and more than 20 injured in recent att@cks, stressing that no suspect has been prosecuted to date.

He said there has been no single prosecution or active arrest so far, describing the perpetrators as known Osun APC thugs whose crimes were committed in the presence of the police.

He called on the Inspector-General of Police to return those currently in custody to Osun State and have them charged in courts within the state if any offence had indeed been committed, adding that those remanded in prisons elsewhere should be brought back to Osun and arraigned locally if the police can establish any wrongdoing.

He also appealed to President Bola Tinubu to caution Oyetola and the Osun State Commissioner of Police against further vi0lence against the people.

The allegations follow the arrest of Igbalaye and five others by police over alleged vote-buying. Police spokesperson Abiodun Ojelabi said N4.8 million and other electoral materials were recovered from a residence linked to the SSG.

Political tension has escalated in Osun State ahead of the governorship election, with supporters of the Accord party and the APC trading accusations and verbal att@cks.

Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke Marks 66th Birthday as Supporters Highlight Achievements

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke marks his 66th birthday today, and the occasion has drawn warm tributes celebrating what supporters describe as a transformative period for the state.

Since taking office, Adeleke’s administration is credited with reversing years of stagnation and delivering measurable progress across several sectors.

In healthcare, the state has won back-to-back national awards carrying a combined prize of $1 million.

In education, Osun climbed from 36th place in national examination rankings in 2022 to 7th place in both 2024 and 2025. On the fiscal side, the administration has cut the state’s inherited debt by more than 40 percent while growing internally generated revenue by over 120 percent within three years.

Infrastructure development has been another major focus, with over 300 kilometres of internal roads delivered and major road dualization projects completed across Osogbo, Ilesha, Ile-Ife, Iwo, Ido Osun, Ila, and Ede, among others.

Modern flyovers have also been constructed at Oke Fia and Lameco in Osogbo, and at Lagere in Ile-Ife.

In agriculture, the state has shifted from small-scale subsistence farming to mechanised agriculture through the procurement of modern equipment, distribution of improved seedlings, and financial support for farmers.

The technology sector has equally received attention, with the domestication of the Nigeria Startup Act, the launch of an Osun ICT policy, and the constitution of a Tech Advisory Council drawing professionals from across Nigeria and beyond.

As he turns 66, supporters are calling for his administration to continue into another term, expressing confidence that the progress recorded so far is only the beginning.

Governor Adeleke dismisses talks of joining ADC, vows to run under PDP

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has firmly denied rumours suggesting he plans to defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or collaborate with figures within the party ahead of the 2026 governorship election.

In a statement released on Friday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the governor described the claims as baseless and misleading, reaffirming his full commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Our attention has been drawn to news reports and media enquiries about the imminent defection of Governor Adeleke to the ADC or alignment with ADC big wigs ahead of the 2026 governorship race. There is no truth in those publications and speculations,” the statement read.

Rasheed further clarified that there is no existing alliance or plan to work with the ADC, either directly or indirectly, emphasising that the governor will seek re-election under the PDP banner.

“First of all, we, the PDP Osun, have already adopted and endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election, so there is no alliance with ADC.

“Secondly, Governor Adeleke has no alliance with anyone in ADC. He remains in PDP, will run in PDP, and needs no alliance with ADC to win with a wide margin in 2026,” he stated.

He credited the governor’s rising popularity to his performance since assuming office, stating that Adeleke enjoys wide support from the Osun electorate due to his delivery of good governance and development-focused leadership.

“The Osun electorate supports Governor Adeleke because of his impressive performance since he came to office. That good work is still ongoing, and Osun people are committed to sustaining the delivery of good governance by re-electing Governor Adeleke in 2026,” Rasheed said.

The governor also called on PDP members and supporters in the state to remain focused and continue strengthening party structures at all levels as preparations intensify for next year’s election.
