The governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, says he has not earned salary since he assumed office six years ago.

He said this during the launch of Oodua FM in Ile-Ife on Sunday.

“When people complain about our financial state, I begin to wonder if they think I am spending people’s money. Some of you do not know that I have not received any salary since I became governor- of Osun state, why will I take that of others,” said Mr. Aregbesola, who became governor in November 2010.

According to the pay package prepared by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission and which became effective 2009, a state governor earns a monthly salary of N2.2 million.

He is however entitled to several other perks, including constituency allowance of N4.44 million, hardship allowance N1.11 million, leave allowance N222, 370.00, and newspaper allowance N333,555.75.

Osun State has been in deep financial crisis for a long while and has been unable to pay salaries of workers.

Besides, the governor who began his second term in office in November 2014, has not appointed commissioners.

The poor financial condition of the state has also made it impossible to live up to its obligations to the Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomosho, which it jointly funds with Oyo State.

Mr. Aregbesola said the economic crisis was not only affecting Osun state but also other states, noting “there is no free money anywhere.”

He explained that he refused to appoint commissioners because of the state’s poor financial condition.

“How will I have commissioners when we have no money?” he asked.

“The minority leader of Osun state House of Assembly wrote a post on Facebook complaining that I have not paid them. We don’t have the money, even the minority leader does not have a car.”

The governor advised the owner of the radio station, Rotimi Malone, to use it to develop of the state rather than for politics.

Mr. Aregbesola criticized the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation for allegedly performing below expectation.

According to him, “Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation has set standards but they just do things anyhow. There was a time that Osun state was almost torn apart through the media but Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation refused to act.”

Go to hell

Hmmm this Aregberascal can lie sha....

Baba Kabiru but why are you lying?

but the ones you earn through contract are called what?

Babaa Kabiruu, enu opuro o n'seje.

How about the security votes and several contracts awarded to your son, wife, family and cronies? Who will not forget about salary when he knows there's cool money that's better than salary?

So, you 've been sustaining yourself, biological and political families from revenues you generated while fixing generators before you ventured into politics, and the ones you raked from Thief.nubu's operational headquarters (Lagos State Government)?

Ma finu mi mo mo'je, Baba Kabiru. Zombies can buy that but definitely not those whose cranial capacity far outclasses chimpanzees and zombies.

Exemplary leadership

But your humongous allowances are paid promptly

Baba you can lie

Your son handles Òpón imó contract and you can dictate to the state assembly give you N200m pension, so what's the big deal.
What about the common man that will lose more than 6yrs salary to you huge debt repayment in the future?
