The real reason incumbent Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of APC lost to Senator Ademola Adeleke of the PDP at the just concluded Osun guber polls has emerged. TheNewsGuru.com, (TNG) reports the real reason behind why Oyetola failed to clinch a second term to Osun government house has been largely attributed to his alleged ' self-aggrandizement policy' while in office. Sources privy to this development who spoke to TNG on the condition of anonymity claimed that the outgoing governor was essentially too self centered. One of the sources in the State said"the man had an excuse for his collosal failure each he is asked why he's is not performing. "One of such occasions when he was asked what was affecting his performance considering the fact that he manageably won the 2018 guber election, he laid the blame on the doorsteps of COVID-19. "But the gospel truth is that the former Governor of the state, Rauf Aregbesola was sidelined from day one and the man too snubbed Oyetola and waited to prove a point that after running Osun for eight years he knew where the hidden votes were kept. Another source gave credence to this fact as he spoke in a similar vein describing the incumbent Governor as a "very selfish man who only cared for himself and his godfather brother from Lagos. "He locked up the vaults and thought the 2018 inconclusive experience will resurface in 2022 but Osun people are wiser now and you can see the results now. "The 2018 election was a daylight robbery and Nigerians knew Senator Adeleke was robbed and our Osun people rejected money for votes which they largely relied on. "Don't also rule out the new Electoral Act that made rigging virtually impossible because this election could have been properly rigged. "The Electoral Act, the heavy mobilisation of CSOs, security operatives voter education of INEC killed anything rigging and ballot box snatching. Giving credence to adequate preparation and mobilisation, Chairman of the Situation Room, Prof Adele Junaidu also praised INEC as 35percent of the registrants participated unlike Ekiti that only 15percentet of PVC bearers participated. "With this development ballot boxing and massive rigging have been eliminated from the electoral process through the 2022 Electoral Act
