The National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, Rauf Aregbesola, has claimed he is the first governor in Nigeria’s history to govern a state for eight years without owning a personal house.

n

Aregbesola, a former governor of Osun State and former Minister of Interior, made the assertion while addressing his supporters in a video which started trending online on Thursday.

n

According to him, he lived in a friend’s house throughout his tenure as governor.

n

“I’m the first governor in Nigeria to rule a state for eight years without owning a house of my own,” he said.

n

The former governor added, “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.”

n

Aregbesola served as governor of Osun State from 2010 to 2018 before he was appointed Minister of Interior under the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.

n

During his time in office, he pursued policies aimed at reducing poverty, unemployment and hunger, while promoting education, healthcare, peace and community development.
