The Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on the state's House of Assembly to immediately pronounce the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Grace Laoye-Tomori Acting Governor "because the governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola has abandoned the state for two weeks without the permission of the state assembly".
The party in a statement issued in Osogbo by its spokesperson, Prince Diran Odeyemi, said from its findings, "Governor Aregbesola left the state since 16th October and since then has not returned to date".
The PDP said "rather than face the financial crises he created, Aregbesola has been spending most of his time outside Osun to avoid pressure from unpaid civil servants and others being owed".
It therefore urged the state assembly to be alive to its responsibilities and pronounce the deputy governor acting governor to prevent what it described as "further stand down of governance and constitutional breaches by Aregbesola".
The statement reads: "Ogbeni cannot avoid to continue to play Nero when Osun is on fire. No sector works again in the state and the man in charge has taken permanent residence in Lagos, outside Osun.
"From available information, Ogbeni Aregbsola without informing the state assembly left Osun on October 16 and since then, what the people of Osun could lay claim to as their governor are his pictures in the newspapers."
"The state assembly has proven to be the puppet of Aregbesola but they can still redeem their corporate image by pronouncing Deputy Governor, Titi Laoye-Tomori Acting Governor. With the present quagmire Osun is into, it cannot avoid to have an absentee governor".
