National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rauf Aregbesola, has claimed that he did not own a private residence while serving as governor of Osun State between 2010 and 2018.

Speaking in a video shared online on Thursday, Aregbesola said he spent his entire period in office living in a friend’s house in the Amuta area of Ilesa.

The former governor challenged anyone disputing his claim to present evidence that he owned a house during his administration.

“I’m the first governor in Nigeria to govern a state for eight years without owning a house of my own. I stayed in my friend’s house for eight years as governor in my fatherland. Whoever says what I’m saying is not true should come out and show me the house I own,” Aregbesola stated.

After completing his two terms as Osun governor, Aregbesola served as Minister of Interior under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
