Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola
Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola

The immediate past Head of Service in Osun State, Mr. Segun Akinwusi, has said the administration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola earned N317 billion from the federal allocation, internally generated revenue and other accruals from the Federal Government since he became the governor in 2010.

The figure given by Akinwusi at the summit organised by the Osun Stakeholders at Ile Ife on Thursday was contrary to the N204 billion which the governor gave as the total accrual to the state at the inauguration of the state House of Assembly on June 2.

The figure given by the former HOS also formed part of the communique issued by the organisers of the summit at the end of the programme.

One of the conveners of the summit, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, read the communique.

The summit was scheduled to hold at a hotel in Osogbo but one of the conveners, Mr. Niyi Owolade, accused the police of being used by the state government to deny them the opportunity of using the venue.

Efforts to speak to the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs. Folasade Odoro, proved abortive as the signal was bad when our corespondent called her on the telephone. She, however, did not respond to the text message sent to her.

Akinwusi, in his speech, put the state’s debt profile at over N400 billion and not N40 billion, saying the future of generations yet unborn in the state was bleak because of the burden of the debt.

He added that the governor lied to the people of the state by telling them that the N11.5 billion Islamic loan (Sukuk) raised attracted no interest. According to him, the state will pay 25.5billion to service the loan of N11.5 billion.

The summit also tasked the National Assembly to set in motion machinery to restructure the country, saying states did not need the handout given to them in the name of bailout but they should be allowed to prospect for resources within their territories.

They frowned out the use of consultants by Osun State Government to carry out the task which civil servants ought to be doing.

They said this was a huge waste of state’s resources and should be stopped to save the state of some fund.

They stressed that some white elephant projects embarked upon by the state government were designed to fleece the state, while they lamented the state of many of these projects, including the Ido Osun Airport.

Owolade, who is a former governorship candidate of the Accord Party, said Aregbesola said when he paid President Muhammadu Buhari a visit that the problem confronting the state was beyond his power.

Based on this, he said, the group came up with the intention of holding the summit so that participants would fashion out ways out of the financial crisis for the state and other states in similar conditions.

The governor had told members of the House of Assembly on June 2, during the inauguration of the new lawmakers, that the state earned N 204 billion from November 2010 to the end of 2014.

He explained that the sharp drop in the amount of fund accruing to the state made it difficult for him to continue to pay workers regularly.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress in the state had said the organisers of the summit fled the venue initially scheduled for the meeting on sighting policemen because their intentions were not good.

The spokesperson of the APC in the state, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, said this in a statement made available to react to the claim of the summit’s conveners.

He said, “Their claim that the police stopped them from holding it in Osogbo is ridiculous. They came to Leisure Spring Hotel, saw police security and they fled‎ to one hideout in Ile Ife.

“If their intentions were good, why did they run away from the police? If their intention were good, why did the presence of the police scare them? Did the police officially prohibit the summit? Those guys are cowards, they should not be taken seriously.

“‎We will look at what they had on offer as solution to the financial and education problems in the state before we respond fully.”

Swap the One Nigeria Lagos and Yorubaland in your statement with SE Anambra and Igboland respectively, and it would sound exactly like what your folks have been shouting here.
