The Federal Government had in March, 2018 claimed that it had so far shared N1.9 trillion among states as support from the Paris Club refund.

Ade Alade, Abuja



State governors across party lines are presently fuming over an alleged secret payment of N16.67 billion, said to be the last tranche of Paris Club refund payment to Osun state government.

The state government was in December 2017 paid along other states by the federal government the third tranche of the refund, amounting to N6.3 billion.

Paris Club refund is a partial settlement of long-standing claims by state governments relating to over-deductions from their Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) payments for external debt service between 1995 and 2002.

Three tranches had been released earlier to all the states, with the last released alongside the December 2017 federal allocations to enable most of the states owing months of staff salaries offset the backlog.

At least three state governors from both the ruling APC and opposition PDP who spoke to Saturday Sun on the latest payment yesterday expressed anger over the secret manner the payment was made to only Osun.

They argued that the refund was made to empower the state government successfully prosecute the September 22 governorship election in which the APC candidate, Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola is facing a strong challenge from the candidates of at least three other parties; PDP, ADP and SDP.

“All states and governors need money at this critical time to pay workers salaries and provide basic infrastructure needed by our people but instead of the federal government treating us equally, they have chosen to pay only Osun state this huge sum at the expense of the rest of us who are equally in dire need of whatever refund we have left”, one of the state governors told Saturday Sun yesterday.

Another governor who also sounded unhappy about the development said “the secret payment was all geared towards mobilizing for APC in the coming governorship election in Osun and certainly not for the state workers. Otherwise, it should have been a general and open payment to all the states.”

The third governor who also said he got wind of the payment vowed that he was going to mobilise his colleagues to pressure the federal government to release whatever is due to other states without further delay. “What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander”, he stressed.

The Federal Government had in March, 2018 claimed that it had so far shared N1.9 trillion among states as support from the Paris Club refund. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo made this known in his address at the fourth edition of the Ogun Investors’ Forum in Abeokuta.

Osinbajo said that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration had continued to extend equal and unbiased support to states of the federation regardless of party affiliations. He said it would be difficult to point to any government that had been more supportive in the development of the ambitions of states as the present administration.

The Vice President had recalled that no fewer than 26 of the 36 states in Nigeria could not pay the salaries of their workers when the present administration assumed power in 2015. Osinbajo explained that the federal government, however, came to their rescue by extending funds to them.

The money was paid to enable APC rig election in Osun State. Soon Buhari will claim ignorance as usual.

And the idiots are claiming it's for Election

Ekiti got it's own a few months to election , but it's not for election


Paris refund club is paid to assist Governors in debt ( Salaries, Contracts, and all other obligations) from what i understand if you ( a governor ) submit a claim , it'll be verified and when possible refunded to the state , No doubt aregbe has done more than enough in Osun and if he's refunded then he deserves it

Furthermore , the complain came from PDP , they failed to mention when (time) the refund was made everything i have seen so far points to March 2018 and if that is correct, how can the payment since March be used for Election in September ?

Only time will tell of the huge atrocities of this bogus government.

When they will open the Book Of Corruption after these Archaic People community have left power, you guys will realise that these guys are the real masters of corruption. PDP guys are just apprentices.

*Recovered loots from politicians.
*Subsidy removal from fuel.
*Paris club refunds
*internal generated revenue
*foreign exchange earning
*deliberate devaluation of the currency

Yet, and yet, there is nothing on ground to substantiate how these funds were spent.
It makes me wonder what the APC online troll are even celebrating..
Propaganda doesn't create lobs.
It doesn't put food on the table.
It doesn't reduce the prices of goods in the market.
Like i said, PDP are learners in stealing. The real corruption gladiators are here. They steal without fear. A reign of impunity.
huge domestic and foreign loans
and other revenue sources

God almighty will continue to exposed them by the day and their corruption acts. Efcc should do the needful.

He was given such amount and he is the worst governor in South West owing 18months full salary and pension. I guess the money is meant to help rig the election. God will disappoint them. Heartless government

OSUN 2018

*If you're a student of Ladoke Akintola University (LAUTECH) and you vote for APC, you don't need a soothsayer to tell you that you will remain backward forever.

*If you're a worker in Osun and you vote APC, maybe your forefathers have sinned and you're serving their punishment.

*If you're a carpenter, bricklayer or painter in Osun and you want to vote for APC, try and take inventory of the works you did not do for the past 7yrs and take a stand.

*If you're a tailor and you want to vote for APC, you will forever remain a slave to "Sam & Sarah" (Aregbesola's sole tailor of all school uniforms)

*If you're a LAUTECH Hospital staff and you vote for APC, it means you've collected your salary in advance in heaven, you're just here on earth to work for it.

*If you're an Iyaloja or Babaloja and you vote for APC, you will continue to eat your wares. The unpaid workers will not patronise you.

If you're a pensioner and you vote APC, don't worry. You will soon join your mates that have been killed by this APC administration. It's only the medical staff that are on strike in LAUTECH. The mortuary is always open!

*A vote for APC is a vote for continued suffering*.
Osun people, beware!

It's only when it comes to all thing money that you will see their interest & undivided attention on the subject matter.

Worker no receive full salary for like 2years

Only fools will vote for Apc again in Osun states

They should kill themselves, the ones they have been collecting what have they used it for
