The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state has accused the state Governor, Rauf Aregbesola of favouritism.
The
PDP in Osun state, alleged that he used N20b, out of the N30b bailout
fund given to the state, to pay a contractor, instead of paying staff
salaries.

The PDP Director of Media and Strategy in Osun state, Prince Diran Odeyemi said “We
have it on good authority that the payment was effected last week
Thursday and we have noticed that the contractor has returned to site
with its men and equipment within 24 hours as requested by the
governor.”

Adding that “Inasmuch
as we believe the road project is ideal, we wonder why an inflated road
contract awarded at N1 billion per kilometre has suddenly become the
priority of Aregbesola at this particular period of nine months of
unpaid salary if not because of some undercurrent deals to siphon funds
and shortchange the people of Osun State, the party disclosed further.”

“This
perhaps is the reason why the governor said he would only pay half of
March salary to workers at a meeting he held with them last week. These
hardships are too much for the people of Osun. We are therefore,
appealing to traditional rulers and religious bodies in the state to
wade in before it escalates and become unbearable because an hungry
person is unarguably, an angry man,” Odeyemi said.
