According to him, only the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, candidate provided a detailed plan to address healthcare issues.

“I felt like the candidates didn’t present bright ideas. All of them. And I felt it’s very lacklustre what Osun State is going to get, and I’m saying this across the board. I mean, I didn’t see the brightness of ideas.

“Governor Adeleke was reacting to many things, trying to defend his administration, but I didn’t see a lot of brightness. I didn’t see a lot of vision. I saw more attacks. The governor was defending his achievements, including a 350-kilometre road. But what is the grand vision?

“I think it was only the PRP candidate that put a finger on what was happening in the health sector, probably because he’s a medical doctor and because of what he said he was going to do to improve it,” he said.

DAILY POST recalls that all the governorship candidates participated in a town hall debate on Tuesday ahead of the election scheduled for August 15, 2026.
