The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Osun State chapter has again accused
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of inflicting hardship on the people of the
state, especially civil servants by the alleged deliberate withholding of bailout
funds rather than using it to pay their salaries.
The
party, in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Prince Diran Odeyemi
in Osogbo on Sunday, said the piecemeal mode adopted by state government
in paying salaries was a further confirmation that the money had been
fixed.
It
added that from its findings, workers in the state were last paid half
of their July salaries, with all allowances being hitherto enjoyed by
them removed, stressing that the retirees are also being treated same
manner with many of them still being owed up to 6 months despite release
of bailout funds to the state since August.
It
then urged the federal government to make it mandatory for Osun State Government to provide evidence of payment of salaries with bailout funds
as the only condition that will enable it to access its further share
of monthly allocation.
Listing
what he described as "Aregbesola's other channels of waste in the past", Prince Odeyemi said "'let us not forget how this same governor wasted N8billion acquiring his
failed, phantom "Opon Imo" and a further N400million in launching the
failed project".
