Governorship candidate of the People's Democratic Party in Osun State Senator Iyiola Omisore has commended the governors of Oyo, Ogun and Rivers states for helping Osun State pay its workers' July salary.
In a statement issued Friday Omisore described the bail out as a confirmation that the “outgoing governor” Rauf Aregbesola had mismanaged the resources of the state. This, Omisore noted, has resulted in the non-payment of the workers salary as an when due.
The statement was signed by Prince Duran Odeyemi, Director of Publicity and Strategy of the Omisore campaign organisation.
“We are aware the state government account is in the red due to huge debt servicing, unsustainable debt profile and capital flight in service of cronies.
“I commend the governors of Oyo, Rivers and Ogun states for being their brothers' keeper by extending millions of naira to the Osun state government to pay salaries of workers.
“We appreciate the gesture which for the first time enabled the outgoing governor of Osun state pay July salary before the end of the month. This is the first time the Aregbesola government would pay salaries of workers earlier than two to three months late”, observed Omisore..
“We note the embarrassment this unorthodox way of running state finance has plunged our state . Even key officials of the administration are facing charges over unexplained movement of cash as was the ongoing case of the Commissioner for Finance.
According to Omisore, “governance by borrowing is definitely unacceptable to the generality of our people”,
Wondering how long the state would survive on such handouts, ,Senator Omisore affirmed that a government that relies on donations to pay salaries can no longer be entrusted with power as it has lost all legitimacy and should be voted out of power by the voters.
“Even while we appreciate assistance of friendly governors to the embattled governor of Osun state ,it is clear that time is up for him as failure to judiciously manage state treasury is even a sufficient ground to voluntarily resign from office.
“If the governor (Aregbesola) will not resign, the votes of the people will send him packing come August 9,” predicted Omisore.
“I sympathize with workers in Osun State for the mismanagement of the entire public service . Our pledge to them is that their welfare will be on the critical list of our priorities. Never will Osun state depend on handouts to pay her workers .
“This shame on our state shall end “, the statement concluded.
