Jobs
Create jobs through infrastructure-led investment
Partial
The promise
Promised that prioritising infrastructure and security would attract businesses and investors, in turn creating jobs.
Assessment
Amosun's administration claimed to have created over 500,000 jobs and reduced unemployment to a minimal level; these figures came from the administration's own account rather than independently verified statistics.
Infrastructure
Build infrastructure as an investment magnet
Partial
The promise
Promised road and infrastructure development as a foundation for attracting business investment to Ogun State.
Assessment
The administration prioritised roads and infrastructure spending across both terms, though independent analysis at the time questioned whether road expansion and overhead bridges alone were adding proportionate value for residents.
Governance
Lawful, transparent governance
Broken
The promise
Campaigned on lawful, accountable administration of the state.
Assessment
Hours before leaving office in May 2019, Amosun confessed to police that he had stockpiled 1,000 AK-47 rifles, 4 million rounds of ammunition, 1,000 bulletproof vests and an armoured personnel carrier at a secret Government House armoury, imported without the legally required end-user certificate; separately, a 2021 government panel found the EFCC under Ibrahim Magu had been directed not to investigate corruption allegations against him.
