The Labour Party in Osun State has
called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the
Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission to
beam their searchlight on the activities of Governor Rauf Aregbesola
administration.
The Chairman of the LP in the state, Mr.
Tunde Olatunji, and the former governorship candidate of the party,
Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, said this in a statement made available to our
correspondent in Osogbo on Sunday, after its stakeholders’ meeting.
The opposition party said the inability
of the state government to pay its workers and other problems
confronting the state were caused by the maladministration of the All
Progressives Congress government in the state.
The statement read, “Our dear state is
in a messy situation today and the people are messed up too through the
visionless administration of Aregbesola. Many things have gone awry
which now make it compelling more than ever before for the EFCC and ICPC
to look seriously into the activities of the Aregbesola administration.
“We can’t continue like this. The
situation is hopeless. Salaries are not being paid and everything
appears to be at a standstill.
“Aregbesola has ruined our state and
bruised the psyche of our people. Earnestly, our people are yearning for
a desired change. This, we must all work towards. Enough of this deceit
which has foisted untold hardship on our people.”
Meanwhile, the APC in the state has said history will vindicate Aregbesola.
The ruling part said the governor had performed very well, contrary to the claims of his critics.
The APC said this through the Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi.
The ruling party said this while
responding to the award which the Nigerian Association of Primary
Schools Head-Teachers presented to the governor to acknowledge his
education policy.
Oyatomi said, “History will vindicate
Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola, regardless of what pessimists and
envious critics may have to say about his tenure.
“Indeed, knowledgeable people in the
country, who have seen through the quality and content of his
programmes, are already giving their thumps up, especially on
education.”
