  "account": "The Osun State Chapter of the Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) has criticized Governor Ademola Adeleke for the state's poor fiscal performance, as highlighted in BudgIT's 2026 State of States assessment. According to the report, Osun is ranked 32nd out of 35 states in Nigeria, placing it behind Lagos, Enugu, and Bayelsa. Dr. Tosin Odeyemi, the state chairman of the party, stated that the ranking is a disgrace and a testament to the ineptitude of the Adeleke administration in developing a viable local economy. Odeyemi argued that the ranking shows the government's inability to convert federal allocations into actual economic growth, fiscal responsibility, and sustainable development for the people of Osun. The party further noted that despite spending billions on paper, Osun remains ranked among the worst in fiscal performance. This, they claim, indicates that the government is more focused on propaganda than on managing the state's economy effectively. The DLA called for a shift in focus towards revamping the state's economy, curbing leakages, and investing in productive sectors. They urged the Osun populace to demand answers about the mismanagement of state resources, warning that the BudgIT report should serve as a wake-up call before the administration faces a fiscal emergency.",
