By Comrade Samakin Abdul-Jeleel Abiodun If the All Progressives Congress (APC) has chosen to forget, Osun people will not. We remember vividly the years of maladministration, mismanagement, and inept leadership that characterized their rule. The records remain open, a painful reminder of how the APC, under the leadership of former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, plunged Osun State into economic setbacks and developmental stagnation.

It is insulting that those who left behind unpaid salaries, abandoned projects, and a mountain of debts now seek to rewrite history through political jamborees. A party that should be on its knees seeking forgiveness...
