The Imole Campaign Council, the organisation in charge of the reelection campaign of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has dismissed allegations of a lack of financial transparency under the current administration in the state.
The statement on Tuesday by the spokesman for the campaign council, Pelumi Olajengbesi, was in reaction to recent statements by the opposition in the state concerning the present financial position of Osun.
The campaign council argued that the report released by civic organisation BudgIT Nigeria, which scored 100 per cent in the 2025 Third Quarter Fiscal Transparency Report, showed Adeleke’s exceptional commitment to openness, financial transparency and accountability.
Olajengbesi said, “These claims, lacking substance and coherence, further reinforce the growing perception that the opposition has abandoned constructive engagement for baseless political rhetoric.
“The credibility of the current administration remains one of its most defining strengths, earning it recognition both nationally and beyond.
“Osun State has recorded a landmark achievement in transparency and accountability, securing a 100 per cent fiscal transparency score in the Q3 2025 report by BudgIT and ranking among the top tier of states in the country.
“This is not a political assertion but an independent validation grounded in data and objective analysis,” he added.
Olajengbesi further said the ranking of Osun under Adeleke as financially transparent was not accidental but a “direct outcome of deliberate reforms and a clear commitment to openness, accountability, and responsible governance under Governor Adeleke.”
He added that the assessment reflected a government that understands that public trust is earned through transparency and sustained by performance.
The statement further read, “The reality in Osun State today is evident in the prudent and transparent management of public resources, the sustained effort to clear inherited pension obligations and restore dignity to retirees, the improvement in workers’ welfare through financially backed commitments, the expansion of social interventions such as free healthcare for pensioners, and the visible transformation of infrastructure across the state.
“These are not abstract claims but lived realities for the people.”
He said Adeleke’s handling of Osun finances was a demonstration of accountable governance, noting that the administration has adopted “a system that is transparent, verifiable, and impactful.
“It stands in clear contrast to a past defined by excuses, opacity, and limited measurable outcomes.”
