‘AKOTILETA’ LEGACY: OSUN APC MUST ANSWER FOR SELLING LAUTECH




 ‘AKOTILETA’ LEGACY: OSUN APC MUST ANSWER FOR SELLING LAUTECH

OSOGBO – 23/03/2026 - Osunstate.gov.ng

The Government Media Centre condemns in the strongest possible terms the reckless, greedy, and utterly “akotileta” actions of Osun APC; the political gang that starved, abused, and ultimately sold out Osun’s stake in Ladoke Akintola University of Technology.

A party that sold our common matrimony is not ashamed to question a government that solidify the Osun state university, the make University of Ilesa a thriving institution and that upgraded Osun infrastructure through multi-billion naira investment

Let us be blunt, LAUTECH did not collapse overnight. It was deliberately strangled of funds, mismanaged, and abandoned over years by a government more interested in lining their personal pockets than educating our youth. Osun under APC owned subventions. Workers went unpaid for months and years, allowances and entitlements ignored, all on public record.

Osun APC ganged up against the university. They refused to release funds consistently, worsened every crisis, and allowed LAUTECH to bleed under their negligence. Then, in a brazen act of betrayal, Oyetola as Governor, and Oyebamiji as Finance Commissioner sold the institution to Oyo State, as if the hard-earned asset of Osun people was theirs to dispose of.

This was not a forced sale. It was voluntary. It was greed. It was incompetence masquerading as governance. The people of Osun were treated like pawns, their future mortgaged for APC political expediency.

What Osun got in return was a mere College of Health Sciences in Osogbo. What an insult! A once-proud university was reduced to crumbs. That is the legacy of APC in Osun; abandonment, betrayal, and contempt for the people they claim to serve.

First, they failed to fund it. Then, they used that failure as justification to sell it.

While the APC crawls in excuses, the current administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke has demonstrated what true leadership looks like. From the ruins left by the akotileta APC, we have rebuilt Osun State University to enviable heights. Fully funded, stable, respected, and thriving. That is the difference between leadership and APC’s reckless abandonment.

The people of Osun must demand answers:

Why did APC starve LAUTECH for years?

Why were workers left to suffer while APC played politics and enriched itself?

Why did APC sell out a critical asset of Osun State with zero care for our children’s future?

This is the bitter truth; APC failed. APC abused. APC betrayed. And APC must be made to answer for it accordingly. 

Signed:

Why Sally Tibbot Cannot Divorce Oyetola’s Administration

 Why Sally Tibbot Cannot Divorce Oyetola’s Administration The letter of engagement recently circulated by the APC lying machine has unintentionally exposed a record they have been trying so hard to distort. It confirms what many already know but some still struggle to deny; Sally Tibbot actually audited past governments. The paper trail speaks for itself, and no amount of revisionism can rewrite documented events. The facts are as follows: When Oyetola was still in office, in October 2022, Sally Tibbot appeared before the Adeleke transition committee to make a presentation on why the incoming government must audit Osun payroll. On that day, she painted a full picture of what she described as billions of naira being lost to payroll scam under the Oyetola administration, stressing the urgency for the incoming administration to halt the bleeding and rescue the state’s finances. That was October 2022. Governor Ademola Adeleke was sworn in on November 28, 2022. If she now claims she did...
