[size=15pt] Some beneficiaries of Subsidy Reinvestment Empowerment Programme (SURE-P) in the State of Osun are currently undergoing slavery in the hands of some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), investigation has revealed.
The SURE-P beneficiaries, majority of whom are graduates, are being engaged in dirty works by the PDP chieftains, who include the State Chairman of the party, Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa, ward chairmen and other notable stalwarts of the party.

Investigation revealed that some of the SURE-P volunteers have been turned to personal housemaids by the PDP chieftains, who do boast around that they are in charge of the SURE-P and they can decide the fate of the beneficiaries, according to sources.
OSUN DEFENDER gathered that some of the SURE-P volunteers are currently working at Senator Iyiola Omisore’s Campaign Office as cleaners and office keepers, while some do report at the home of the PDP chairman for available assignments on daily basis.

The medium learnt that some of the SURE-P beneficiaries were deployed to a PDP leader in Eripa in Boluwaduro Local Government Council Area of the state, working as housemaids.
The party leader, known as Mr Simon Olawuyi Alabi, was chairman of Boluwaduro Local Government Council.
According to sources, the affected SURE-P beneficiaries were assigned to sweeping the PDP chairman’s private residence compound every morning, wash his cars and cut the grasses at the surroundings.

The development has attracted criticisms from members of the community, who felt the SURE-P volunteers are being cheated and maltreated by the PDP chieftain.
However, it was gathered that sweeping Alabi’s private residence is the daily work of the SURE-P beneficiaries, upon which they are being paid.
Commenting on the development, a resident of Eripa, who craved anonymity said: “The SURE-P issue brought to the fore the tyrannical and undemocratic nature of the PDP leaders.

“SURE-P is a Federal Government programme to absolve unemployed youths, most of whom are graduates. It is irritating and absurd to know that these SURE-P beneficiaries are now slaves and housemaid to the PDP leaders, who felt that the programme is for their party members alone.

“Some of the SURE-P beneficiaries have been brainwashed, threatened and intimidated by the PDP leaders to the extent that they believe the PDP is their employer and not the Federal Government, as a result of the party monopolizing the programme.”

This fraudulent Empowerment program known as "Sure-P" has always been another smart way of deceiving Nigerians by the PDP(papa deceiving pikin). I only pity innocent citizens who take them serious

This is what you get when you have incompetent and idea short people in government.

Some of the SURE-P volunteers are currently working at Senator Iyiola Omisore’s Campaign Office as cleaners and office keepers, while some do report at the home of the PDP chairman for available assignments on daily basis.

Imagine that.

PDP.... SureP..... Osun

Something's not adding up here

This is serious o

How else do you expect politicians who are use to celebrating and sharing monies under Oyin to act? I am not surprised by the news.

Well, it is not unexpected. In Osun State, Federal Govt SURE P for youth and women were shared among PDP members: 8 beneficiaries per each ward, all PDP. The names were even submitted long b4 forms were made available to the public. Even the one they termed Graduate Internship Scheme, 3 names in each ward have been submitted among PDP members only and this is Federal Govt programme. We all bear the brunt of fuel subsidy removal, now only PDP members are enjoying SURE P at Federal level. Just imagine!

OsunDefender again? OsunDefender is now AregbeDefender.

Well, good to know federal govt SURE-P is working also in Osun state. The issue of allegations of abuse will always arise considering how primitive Nigerian politicians are. If there are proven cases of abuse (not politically motivated allegations), corrective action should be taken. The fact that salaries of EVERY beneficiary is being paid DIRECTLY from Abuja was also to prevent these sort of abuses.

However, the fact has been established over and over again that federal govt SURE-P is working. The 3,000 beneficiaries per state is real. The road projects, rail rehabilitation, etc are real.

Shame on those who, in their usual cynicism, dismissed the programme when it was being conceptualised. Our president will continue to prove the cynics, pessimists and destructive critics WRONG.

Meanwhile, Nigerians would like to know what Aregbe is doing with Osun state govt share of SURE-P funds. Is it also being channeled into Tinubu's BOTTOMLESS pocket?

ojoawo: PDP.... SureP..... Osun

I know exactly what you meant by this post but this shows that you don't know nothing about this programme. For the fact that Osun state is being controlled by ACN doesn't mean that the Federal Govt programme should target PDP controlled States only or target only PDP members in Osun State.

Fresh Air.

The fact that only PDP members are the beneficiaries of SURE-p programme in Osun state makes the programe to be a scam.
What do you expect from PDP before? They are scam! So, they can only produce scam!
@sincere 9jerian, please be truely sincere for once!

I thought you guys said that there is nothing like Sure-P?

Anyway, let the Governor of Osun show these PDP guys how to employ Sure-P funds correctly, after all, he also has a Sure-P budget to spend...

There is nothing like sure -P in Abia State, a PDP state. Only KEKE NAPEP given out on hire purchase at exorbitant price is the youth empowerment here.

LOL.... I thought these CLOWNS were saying just days ago that there was nothing like SURE-P in states. The new Line now is that: well there is SURE-P (since even Propaganda can no longa hide that) and yes people hv bn engagd and are bn paid by d Programme, but they are ALL PDP membas and/or are doing 'Boy Boy' job in PDP Chiefs houses.. Kai! See story!! LOL. And coming from OsunDefender, Gov Aregbesola's UNABASHED ACN Propaganda Mouthpiece in Osun, collaboratd by just ONE source (a certain community memba, who of course craved ANONYMITY), is just Beauriful........ ACN shld know by now that their Sillly 'TRICKS' and Antics doesn't trick any person any more

It is just a shame that you pdp agent always shift your blame on other, instead of you to invetigate the allegation thoroughly.

For your information I reside in Osun state, Osogbo precisely, sure-p slot was hijacked by your pdp cheif in osun state and to be frank I never seen any sure-p programme in the city of osogbo.

So stop blaming the governor and carry out the investigation on the issue raised.

All the development we ve seen so far in osun is the work of Mr. Governor

This is disgusting to read. It irritates to hear a graduate doing these.

What kind of low-life graduates are those? If every man has a price, sweeping compound/washing car is d price a graduate is willing to pay? Why not start ur own car wash and let him employ ur services than reporting to his house every morning as house-boy.

Some graduates dey shame me.

Meanwhile in other states, the money has simply disappeared

Sure-p supposed to be FG project not PDP, but PDP hijacked it for their members. this is unfair
