Governorship aspirant Dideolu Falobi has unveiled a comprehensive development blueprint ahead of the 2026 governorship race in Osun State, laying out a four-pillar agenda he said would restore efficiency, rebuild institutions and unlock the full potential of citizens.
Falobi presented the document, tagged The 4Rs, at an engagement forum organised in his honour by friends and associates. The gathering, titled An Evening with Engr. Dideolu Falobi and Friends, drew technocrats, political leaders and community influencers who endorsed his vision and analysed the policy direction shaping his campaign.
He said the agenda was designed to ensure that every Osun citizen becomes “useful to themselves and to the state,” stressing that the pillars were products of deep reflection on the state’s challenges and the opportunities that lie ahead.
The 4Rs comprise:
• Reconstruction of foundations – focusing on upgrading core physical and social infrastructure;
• Revitalisation of the economy – aimed at diversifying economic activities, boosting productivity, and creating sustainable jobs;
• Reinforcement of society and governance – strengthening security, accountability and inclusive leadership;
• Resourcefulness through partnership – leveraging internal and external human and financial capital to drive growth.
“The 4Rs are not mere promises; they are a framework for action rooted in Osun’s realities and backed by my leadership experience,” Falobi said, assuring that his agenda offers practical solutions to long-standing structural gaps.
A close ally of the aspirant, Femi Omoniyi, described the forum as a testament to Falobi’s growing acceptance, noting that his “life and work speak for themselves.”
He recalled how years ago the fear of political participation discouraged many professionals from joining the arena, adding that the positive shift seen today was driven by leaders willing to bridge the gap between expertise and governance.
“In 1998, when the democratic space reopened, many stayed away because it felt risky. Those who stepped out did so with courage, and their early sacrifices remain valuable lessons,” he said.
Omoniyi praised the aspirant’s “extensive networks and influence” across cultural, intellectual and development circles, saying Falobi’s long-term residence in Osun had honed his understanding of the state’s diversity and prospects.
“Osun is not a difficult place. It is rich in culture, strength and potential waiting to be harnessed,” he added.
He explained that the forum was the result of deliberate, coordinated efforts among Falobi’s supporters. “We came together as brothers, sisters and friends because we share a common vision. Today, we present a gentleman ready to speak to the world about what he has to offer.”
