Former Minister of Interior of Nigeria. Rauf Aregbesola

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, a former governor of Osun State and former Minister of Interior, made the assertion while addressing his supporters in a video which started trending 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.
