Deputy National Chairman of the Nigeria Advance Party in the South West, Mr. Tosin Odeyemi has asked Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, to resign because of his inability to pay workers and pensioners in the state for the past six months.
Odeyemi in an interview with journalists said “The governor said he had performed well, but if this is the best he can deliver, then he should resign.
“Is this the change he promised the people?, everybody is suffering now, both Christians and Muslims and the governor is saying he had done well. He is insensitive to the plight of the people of the state.
“The governor, through his profligate spending, has brought shame and ridicule to the workers and the entire people of the state. He has turned almost everybody to beggar in the state.
” Where is Laoye-Tomori (deputy governor) now?, it is so sad that workers have been turned to beggars. The Christian Association of Nigeria has now started soliciting food for workers.
” Is the governor not eating? Are his children and wife starving like the workers?. Certainly not. The governor still goes with all the vehicles in his convoy, he has failed woefully. ”
The governor while reacting to the statement through his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon said “If no one could accuse Aregbesola of wasteful spending in his four years of governance why now would anyone say he is wasteful. It is ironic that those making these allegations today applauded the very prudent manner he had managed the affairs of the state even with the very meagre resources at his disposal.”
