Oyo Apc Faults Olubadan Over Allowance Claim by scoty2910: 4:15am On Sep 24, 2017
Oyo APC faults Olubadan over allowance claim
BY SEUN SEUN · SEPTEMBER 22, 2017



The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has faulted Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, over the claim that the state government has not paid his allowances for the past six months.

The Director, Media and Public Affairs to the monarch, Adeola Oloko, recently told our correspondent that the monarch had not been receiving his allowances regularly from the Oyo State Government.

But in a statement signed by the party’s Director of Media, Research and Strategy, Dr. AbdulAzeez Olatunde, the APC also commended the Olubadan for approaching the court over the installation of 21 new kings by the state Governor Abiola Ajimobi.

This legal action, the APC noted, was a “more honourable one compared to the previous combative steps and provocative statements from the palace.”

Olatunde said that the monarch collected statutory allocations from the 11 council areas of the state and from the state government, stressing that both sources had been remitting the money regularly.

The statement said, “Our father, the Olubadan, receives multiple tax-free payments from all the 11 local governments in Ibadan land. For instance, he has collected up till August 2017 from Ibadan South-East, Ido, Ibadan South-West, Ibadan North, Oluyole and Ibadan North-East council areas while Lagelu council area has paid up to July 2017.

“Egbeda and Ona Ara council areas have paid up to June 2017. It is only Akinyele council area that is behind in meeting with this financial obligations and it is not peculiar to the Olubadan but to the generality of workers on its payroll.

“Contrary to the six months outstanding being peddled, the state government has paid all the monarchs in the state up to June 2017 from the appropriated fund of the approved budget and that is the same month which workers in the state have been paid up to. Kabiyesi still collects his honorarium for any event he attends just like the recently held APC organised Public Sitting on True Federalism.”

This claim is meant to be backed up with an evidence.

One can't really believe anything from APC, if there is no evidence to prove the authenticity of their claim.

One thing about Ajimobi is that he so much believe in telling lies. Lies and deceitfulness has a ministry in his cabinet

one thing i know for sure is that a monarch is far more creditable than a politician. i see no reason why d olubadan would lie if he has indeed been paid. it makes no sense
