Speaking during a political programme, Oro Oselu, aired on Uniq FM in Ilesa, Salaam said his administration would focus on practical governance and policies capable of improving the lives of residents.
According to a statement released by his media office in Osogbo on Tuesday, the former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly said he remains committed to development-driven politics rather than political distractions.
The Najeem Salaam electricity plan centres on improving power supply through strategic engagement with investors and stakeholders in the energy sector.
Salaam stated that he has been holding consultations aimed at finding lasting solutions to the persistent electricity problems affecting homes, businesses and industries across Osun State.
He described stable electricity as essential for economic growth, industrial expansion, job creation and the survival of small and medium-scale enterprises.
The ADC candidate stressed that meaningful development cannot thrive in an environment plagued by poor electricity supply.
He assured residents that his administration would explore partnerships and innovative energy solutions to improve power generation and distribution across the state.
Salaam added that the people of Osun deserve leadership driven by vision, peace and practical solutions capable of restoring sustainable development.
Political activities have continued to intensify ahead of the governorship election, with major candidates unveiling policy agendas and campaign promises.

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Oyebamiji, recently introduced a seven-point agenda tagged “PROSPER,” while incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke continues to promote his administration’s five-point agenda focused on workers’ welfare, education, infrastructure and security.
A group, the Imo First Group (IFG) has described the purported Magistrate court order to arrest Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and the former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, over alleged criminal conspiracy and forgery, as a ruse and fake news
The group stated this in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.
IFG challenged those peddling the fake news to make the court order public.
The statement reads ” The fabricated and concocted story was first posted on social media by Hon. Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, a media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma, before it was picked up by other media outfits, including Arise TV.
According to the statement, those behind the report claimed that a Senior Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja issued a Bench Warrant dated September 9, 2026, following a petition written by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Imo State, Barr. Chukwuemeka Ibejiako, to the Police and DSS on October 8, 2026, over alleged presentation of fake APC primary results.
The Group debunked the existence of any such order.
“We want to state categorically and unequivocally that no jSenior Magistrate ordered or issued any bench warrant for the arrest of Araraume”
IFG however challenged anyone in possession of the purported court order to publish it.
“If you claim to have a court order present same for the public to see,
“This fabricated bench warrant contain in the report is filled with inconsistencies, the bench warrant was dated September 9, 2026, while the REC’s petition that supposedly triggered it was dated October 8, 2026, with case number CR/M/084/2026.
The statement further stated that the purveyors and harbinger of the fake news tried to trick the magistrate via exparte order but was rebuked
“The magistrate bluntly refused to grant their exparte and threatened to arrest them, yet they carried their falsehood about. What’s the problem of occupants of office that never won free and fair elections and tried to destroy reputable Imo sons that have won elections. We challenge anyone in this macabre surugede dance to show the court order or warrant of arrest. It’s preposterous to blackmail decent Imo sons on the altar of dirty politics.”
