Some hoteliers operating in Osun State have asked Governor Rauf Aregbesola to defray bills incurred by guests of the state government who lodged in their facilities.
The hoteliers said this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Saturday by their spokesperson, Babatunde Karim.
Although the hoteliers lauded Aregbesola’s policies in the tourism and hospitality business, they said the indebtedness had crippled some hotels. They appealed to the governor to settle bills incurred from March 2014 to date to enable them continue in business.
The statement read,“We are gasping for breath now and business has slowed down because of poor patronage and indebtedness to many hotels in Osogbo. We remain a strong supporter of the administration of Ogbeni Aregbesola and hope he will take us into consideration while taking critical decision on how to stabilise private businesses in the state.
“It is pertinent to note here that all policies and programmes of Aregbesola’s administration in the tourism and hospitality sector in the state, have impacted positively on our business, but we urge him to take urgent steps to further protect our investments from crumbling by paying promptly for the services we have rendered.”
“Many hotels are retrenching because of huge amount owed them by government. Some could no longer cope and have dropped out of business. We urge him to please pay us the money to prevent total collapse of the sector.”
Efforts to confirm from the governor’s media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, were unsuccessful. Calls put across to his telephone did not connect while text message sent to his telephone as well as inquiries sent to his email were yet to be responded to as of the time of filing this report.

BEHOLD THE RASCAL'S GREATEST LEGACY: THE WORLD TALLEST TALKING DRUM

I wil b rite back

The prodigal governor of Osun.

Osun o ni gba gbe Aregbese. Atunbotan oni gbese...

- Wasted millions of Naira changing the state name from Osun State to State of Osun. (What is the benefit now?)

- Wasted millions of Naira building an airport in Osogbo when the nearest airport in Ibadan is just 45 minutes drive away. (Abandoned project, millions wasted)

- Destroying peoples houses from Osogbo to the border of Kwara, all now abandoned projects.

- Feeding school pupils with bogus meal, cost provided by his cohorts, when he could have empowered the pupils parents.

- Importing contractors from Lagos for jobs that could easily be done by the state indigenes thereby making heavy capital flight to his home-based lord in Lagos.

- Building the tallest drum in the world, instead of using small drums to worship his gods. (Millions wasted)

Let me stop...

It's high time FG declared State of Osun a failed state and install a military administrator to avert the impending anarchy.

"A stitch in time saves nine"

Na wa oooo! Them swear for this man?

Aregbegbese again? This man no dey tire to owe people money. Ehhh. I heard only osun people did not travel home for illeya despite free train provided

This is exactly what awaits nigeria under buhari

When Sola was in SS3. His teacher always yelled at him, calling him "a waste of conception, time and space. And a sure failure in life". One day, poor Sola's grand mother came to school to check out how her grandson was. doing. The teacher told her quite frankly that she had never seen such a dumb boy all her life; and advised her to withdraw and enroll him under an artisan, because formal schooling for Sola would be a total waste of time and money. The grandmother, shocked at the teacher's remarks, withdrew her grandson from the school and relocated to Maiduguri. **** 25 years later **** The teacher was diagnosed with a brain tumour. All the doctors she met advised her to do surgery. And only a certain doctor in the whole of Nigeria (practicing in Maiduguri) could perform this procedure. Left with no alternative, the poor teacher agreed to have the surgery performed. Fortunately, It was successful. When she awoke hours after the surgery, she saw a handsome young doctor smiling down at her. She was on artificial respiration from a machine that provided her oxygen. She wanted to thank him but could not speak. She looked sideways and suddenly began to express shock & anguish, her face started to turn pale; she frantically made attempts to raise her hand and tell him something but couldn't. She struggled, she fought hard- Then she gave up the Ghost and died. The young doctor was shocked. He tried to find out what went wrong. Eventually he found out that it was our dear Sola (now working as a cleaner in the hospital) who had disconnected the lady's oxygen machine to connect his phone charger. Wait ooo!... Don't tell me that you thought that Sola became the doctor? lol If ah hear.... Sola no know book period!!!

hotel bill follow

Cc: lalsticlala, we appeal to Osun State Governor to please pay the hoteliers to avoid them closing business permanently.

Dts insane of d hoteliers, so someone can come from nowia and log into d hotel without part or any payment. Bt wait o, I blame d clueless aregba dt claimed to be Awo's heir.

Without any doubt in my mind; "Aregbe is operating under a major curse"...

Government, its department, including private companies don't pay bill at check-out. They settle bills depending of their agreed payment terms.

Only individuals pay at check-out.

AreGBESE remains a CURSE to the good people of Osun.

This Part though na yinmu, did they stop accomodating guests or he took the rooms with him on checking out ?

modath:


Without any doubt in my mind "Aregbe is operating under a major curse"...

All our 200 deities (Igba Irunmole) in Yoruba Land hate liars.

Aregbe lying against the past administration in many ways before now.

The gods are not to blame.

If osun vote aregbe or apc again after this I go begin hustle for visa to get the hell outa this messed up country

Unfortunately bailouts money na for civil servants not for una. he go soon negotiate "half pay" with una

Firefire:

-
- Importing contractors from Lagos for jobs that could easily be done by the state indigenes thereby making heavy capital flight to his home-based lord in Lagos.

this is the most annoying thing about aregbe and even now majority of those Lagos contractors haven't been paid .many are down financially at the moment.

Jonathan and PDP are responsible for Osun economic collapse- Lai Muhammed

You want Aregbese to pay gbese?

You don enter gbese be that

Seriously, this man is a disgrace to Osun people.

Even the hoteliers are stupid! If his policies were affecting you positively, then you'd be having guests trooping in and out of your hotels and wouldn't feel the impact of his debts.

Anyway, I understand, you have to sweeten the request with a little praise just to see if the rascal will have some human feelings for once.

Jonathan and PDP are responsible for many things according to Lai Muhammed. They include:

Lateness in rising and setting of the sun
Late coming of the christ
Remi Tinubu's early menopause
Depletion in the ozone layers
Okorocha's 8 month pregancy
El rufai's dwarfism
And high tide of the ocean.
