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.
Aregbesola, who governed Osun State between 2010 and 2018 before serving as Minister of Interior, made the claim while addressing supporters in a video that surfaced online on Thursday.
According to him, he lived in a friend’s house throughout his tenure as governor.
“I’m the first governor in Nigeria to rule a state for eight years without owning a house of my own,” he said.

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