The immediate past Head of Service in Osun
State, Mr. Segun Akinwusi, has said the
administration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola
earned a total of N317bn from the federal
allocation, internally generated revenue and other
accruals from the Federal Government since he
became the governor in 2010.
The figure, as given by Akinwusi at the summit
organised by the Osun Stakeholders at Ile Ife on
Thursday, was contrary to the N204bn, which
Aregbesola gave as the total accruable 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 communiqué 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 had been scheduled to hold at a
hotel in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, 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, on
Owolade’s accusation, proved abortive as the
signal was bad when our correspondent called
her telephone.
The PPRO, however, did not respond to the text
message sent to her mobile phone on the matter.
But, the APC in the state has said that the
organisers of the summit fled the venue initially
scheduled for the meeting on sighting policemen
because their intentions were not good.
The spokesperson for the APC in the state, Mr.
Kunle Oyatomi, said this in a reaction to the claim
of the conveners of the summit.
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 intentions 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.”
Akinwusi, in his speech put the state’s debt
profile at over N400bn and not N40bn, saying the
future of generations in the state was bleak
because of the burden of the debt.
He added that Aregbesola lied to the people of
the state by telling them that the N11.5bn Islamic
loan (Sukuk) raised attracted no interest.
According to him, the state will pay 25.5bn to
service the loan of N11.5bn.
The Osun Stakeholders also asked 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 that they should be allowed to
prospect for resources within their territories.
They frowned at the use of consultants by the
Osun State Government to carry out the duties,
which the state civil servants ought to be doing.
They said this had constituted a huge waste of
state’s resources and should be stopped to save
the state of some fund.
Owolade, who is a former governorship candidate
of the Accord Party, quoted Aregbesola as saying
that President Muhammadu Buhari said the
problem confronting Osun State was beyond his
power when the governor paid a visit to the
President.
The governor had told members of the Osun State
House of Assembly on June 2 during the
inauguration of the new lawmakers that the state
earned N204bn 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.
Aregbesola had said, “In summary, between
November 2010 and December 2014, we got a
total statutory allocation of N108.3 bn and our
expenditure on emoluments was N120.4 bn. It left
us with a total deficit of N12bn.

Shamefully APC won't condemn what is bad because it is their own. I pity whoever will succeed this man. As for the citizens of the state, they brought this on themselves.
