Governance
Govern Ogun State on the AD platform for a full term
Kept
The promise
Implicit in his 1999 election on the Alliance for Democracy platform, returning to a governorship he had also held under the military in 1992–1993.
Assessment
Osoba won the 9 January 1999 election with 66.93% of the vote (247,154 votes) against the PDP's 33.07% (122,139), and served from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2003 with Sefiu Adegbenga Kaka as deputy, completing the term before losing re-election.
Development
Deliver development for Ogun State
Partial
The promise
To improve roads, education and services in a state bordering Lagos and absorbing its spillover growth.
Assessment
Osoba served a full term on the AD platform and left office without a corruption case. Quantified detail on the 1999–2003 development record is not documented in the public record, and he lost the 2003 election to Gbenga Daniel of the PDP in the AD's South-West collapse.
Governance
Win a second term
Broken
The promise
Implicit in seeking re-election in 2003.
Assessment
Osoba lost the April 2003 election to Gbenga Daniel of the PDP, part of the sweep that took every South-West state except Lagos from the AD. He later joined the Action Congress of Nigeria and sat on the 2014 National Conference.
