Ambo Vision

Chief of staff don’t have the final approvals for Strategic decisions . The aggressive capital projects and high debt are 100% Aregbe responsibility. The most tangible evidence of stabilization wasn't a public presentation, but the immediate cessation of the modulated salary system. Within his first month in office (December 2018), Oyetola abolished modulated salaries and began paying 100% full salaries and pensions despite receiving roughly the same FAAC allocations as his predecessor. Oyetola’s administration did not take a single commercial bank loan in four years. By the time he left in 2022, he had significantly reduced the Domestic Debt from the inherited highs of nearly ₦179 billion (at its peak in the previous era) down to ₦148 billion. He successfully managed the $400 million and $60 million international obligations (for the Raisa and Sukuk bonds) without the state falling into default, which would have triggered a total financial collapse. Under Oyetola, Osun consistently ranked as a top performer in the World Bank-supported SFTAS (State Fiscal Transparency, Accountability, and Sustainability) program. This earned the state millions of dollars in grants for transparency grants that are only given when a state proves it is not hiding its debt or mismanaging funds. This administration has failed every economic governance metric. They have failed to attract not even 1$ in FDI in over 3years. Where is the economic blueprint and policy?

Oyetola was Aregbesola’s Chief of Staff from 2010 to 2018. He was inside the administration that ran up the debt that supposedly left the state on the brink. When Oyetola became governor, he never publicly challenged Aregbesola. He never went to traditional rulers with a debt presentation the way Adeleke did. He collected salary bailouts from the federal government and still left ₦76 billion in arrears. The ‘Oyetola stabilized from Aregbesola’s mess’ narrative only emerged after Aregbesola crossed the aisle and backed Adeleke in 2022, creating the political need to separate the two APC men retroactively. If Oyetola truly spent four years cleaning up Aregbesola’s crisis, where is that four-year record of public accountability? Where is the presentation to stakeholders? Where is the documented confrontation? It doesn’t exist because they were political brothers until they weren’t. The stabilization story is being written backwards. And if you want to talk about what Adeleke is actually governing under, the same federal government whose party controls Osun’s opposition has been withholding LG allocations for months. February, March, April 2025 all seized. Osun had to drag the AGF to the Supreme Court just to get money constitutionally owed to its local governments. He is growing IGR, cutting debt, building roads, and moving Osun from 33rd to 7th in national exams, while fighting a federal government that is actively trying to starve his administration. That context doesn’t make it into the ‘Adeleke benefited from better conditions’ argument

I saw this yesterday, I have seen many people contributed but I was taking my time to see people opinion, I’m not doing this to fight you brother or cause stir, you are my brother so let’s these fact out. Adeleke did not come in at the best time. That narrative sounds good but the numbers don’t support it. When he resumed in November 2022, he inherited ₦148 billion in domestic debt and $91.78 million in foreign debt. On top of that, the ministry of finance briefed his team that Oyetola left ₦76 billion in unpaid salaries, pension arrears and insurance commitments behind. Oyetola himself said he left ₦14 billion cash. Both numbers are from the same government, you can decide which one to believe. Now the part people always miss when they say “he got more FAAC money.” Yes he did, in naira. But during Oyetola’s 2020, the naira was around ₦300 to a dollar. Adeleke’s era, we’re talking ₦1,400 to a dollar. The figures look bigger. The purchasing power is not. You’re comparing two completely different nairas. And even with all that, the man took zero new loans, domestic or external, and still cut the domestic debt from ₦148 billion down to ₦86 billion. That’s 42% gone. Foreign debt dropped from $91.78 million to $78.17 million. He grew IGR from ₦27 billion in 2023 to ₦54.7 billion in 2024, that’s 94% in one year. 255 kilometres of roads. Infrastructure deficit went from 80% down to 45%. Osun moved from 33rd to 7th nationally in exam performance. Here’s the thing that really settles it for me, in his 2024 budget alone, ₦27.6 billion went purely to servicing Oyetola’s inherited debt. That money built nothing. No road, no hospital, no school. Just paying off what was left behind. So the question isn’t whether the economy got better after COVID. The question is what did each man do with what he had. One left a ₦76 billion hole. The other walked in, took no loans, and started filling it.

The story of Osun State’s $20 million World Bank grant is not one of "missing funds," but rather a masterclass in Governance and healthcare revitalization. At the heart of this success were two key figures: former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, whose "people-first" vision drove the reforms, and Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji, the then Commissioner for Finance, whose technical Financial expertise unlocked international funding that many other states could not access. HOW WAS THE FUND ACCESSED ? The $20 million grant was part of the World Bank’s Saving One Million Lives (SOML-PforR) program. Unlike traditional grants, these funds are "Program for Results" (PforR meaning the money is only released after a state proves it has met rigorous, independent performance benchmarks.  Under the guidance of Bola Oyebamiji, Osun State didn't just meet these benchmarks; it excelled. By early 2019, the Federal Ministry of Health confirmed that Osun had earned the $20 million grant specifically because of its top-tier performance in maternal and newborn health indices. Under his chairmanship of the steering committee, Osun consistently ranked as a top performer in the States Fiscal Transparency, Accountability, and Sustainability (SFTAS) program, earning additional millions in performance-based grants.  This transparency ensured that international partners like the World Bank viewed Osun as a "safe haven" for development investment.  Ranking Osun: A National Healthcare Leader The res HOW WAS THE FUND UTILIZED? If you understand how international grants works you know it’s impossible to misappropriate. They are utilized based on result and funds utility tied to performance metrics and KPI. Funds are domiciled with Central Bank of Nigeria and released in stages upon completion and performance satisfactory. 1. 332 PHCs The Oyetola administration utilized this "earned" grant as the cornerstone of a state-wide healthcare overhaul. The most visible testament to this is the revitalization of 332 Primary Health Care Centers (PHCs) one for every electoral ward in the state.  2. OHIS Revitalization The administration aggressively funded the Osun Health Insurance Scheme (OHIS), ensuring that the vulnerable, including the elderly and the poor, had access to the newly renovated PHCs without out-of-pocket costs.  While political allegations may arise, the data remains clear. The $20 million grant was a reward for governance excellence. The data also shows that the current administration has not been able to attract any tangible grant due to the opaqueness and deep rooted corruption of their governance systems .

“AMBO is the competent” but guess what 1. $20 million health grant was mishandled by the administration when he was the commissioner for finance 2. Non-payment of Pensions and Entitlements 3. The lackey administration paid half salaries to workers due to financial crisis He was an important figure in the administration, the commissioner for finance and We can go on and on. So tell me how was he a competent leader?

Maybe you forget things easily No be same man dey blow bala blue bulaba?😝😝

Lmaoo. You are a clown. How am I affiliated with the Governor? By putting his picture on my display profile and claiming to be his unofficial aide? Did he make me one? “In the same WhatsApp group taking orders from government officials”? You think everyone feeds on peanuts like you guys are doing??? I am self-sufficient and every single one of my opinions is strictly mine, i dont work for the government in any official capacity and even if I do, there is nothing your father is going to do about it. I am currently at the job that pays me, I can't be doing back and forth with a slave like you, if he pains you well, con hold my shirt. And also, my people are currently at the largest gathering of youths convergence for the governor. I will give them my time. Again, your NADECO leader is worse than Abacha and ONSRR.
