The Osun State chapters of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday traded accusations over the move by the state government to pay the arrears of modulated salaries owed civil servants in the state.
“You can see now that you are in the saddle that running the affairs of a state is not a tea party but requires more than a dancing craft to make a positive impact on the governed. Adeleke should tell the whole world why he is still withholding the November 2022 salaries of all the political functionaries who were legitimately employed by his predecessor.
“Adeleke should know that paying one month of the 30 months owed workers is inconsequential considering the fact that his government in the last 60 days has earned over N60bn allocation and other statutory incomes,” he said. But while responding, the PDP’s Director of Media in the state, Olabamiji Oladele, in a statement titled, ‘Payment of half salaries: APC is ashamed of its records,’ said rather than apologising to public servants in the state for imposing poverty on them through payment of modulated salaries, the APC still went ahead to criticise Adeleke who promised and was already clearing backlogs of half salaries and arrears left by the APC government.
He added, “The attempt to shift the blame of the owed wages to the Rauf Aregbesola government is a bad way to make excuse for failure because, aside from the fact that he was a governor under the APC, his successor, Gboyega Oyetola, campaigned for office on the strength of continuity. Yet, Oyetola ignored the plights of workers and pensioners for the four years his administration lasted, as no kobo out of the money was paid.”All rights reserved.
