Osun State Governor is a good Muslim by all accounts. Sallah celebration is probably the most important religious event in the Muslim faith after Ramadan. Even Christians and animists also feel the sense of celebration and goodwill. Sallah greetings and gifts are freely exchanged.

Unfortunately, my heart goes out to the long suffering civil servants and teachers in Osun State who are being owed over 6 months of arrears in unpaid salaries. Bail out funds specifically released by Federal Govt have been received in Osun State, but warehoused in a commercial bank.

Governor Aregbesola has stubbornly refused to pay the poor and downtrodden workers. This is a man who lived and cut his political teeth in poor neighbourhood of Mushin, Lagos. He projects himself in outlook, mien, and dressing as being conversant with the feelings and agony of the poor. So why is Aregbesola so intent on inflicting pain and suffering on citizens of the State of Osun?

The education sector is practically comatose. This month lecturers in the state's tertiary institutions had to embark on a sit-down protest at State House of Assembly over 8 months of unpaid salaries. Not long after students in secondary schools took to the streets of Osogbo to protest the draconian and crude policy of "show your parent's tax clearance certificate" by Gov Aregbesola.

As of November 2014, Gov Aregbesola illegally cut the meagre pension of retired workers by a whopping 50%. Many have died of hunger because they cannot feed on the paltry sum after the cut. If this is not wickedness, then I don't know what else is. All over the world, leaders protect the weak, the infirmed, and old people. In the State of Osun, those are the ones in the firing line.

It looks like Muslims in Osun will celebrate this Sallah in empty stomach and gloom. And this punch in the stomach is being delivered by a sitting Muslim governor

The pertinent questions we should ask Governor Aregbesola are:

1. Has the Governor paid himself his own salary entitlements?
2. Will the Governor slaughter rams in his own house to celebrate this Sallah with his family?

I also hope he pays

Gov Aregbe knows how to take holiday trips to exotic tourist destinations to ride camels, but has refused to pay his civil servants

But seriously this guy needs to be investigated, haba!!! How can he be getting his own salaries and other "side funds" while the citizens are being owed for months. The system needs to purge all this heartless politicians

Aregbese...The punisher of osun people

This man sha

Ogbeni rauf you're loosing the love or have lost the love the masses used to have for you. It will take you years to get it back if you continue this way. Be wise sir. It is well

It is not only Osun State government that is owing workers. Federal government has not paid the salary of her Nigerian Airforce's civilian workers for August 2015. Nigerian government should stop all these irresponsible attitudes.

APC has shown to be another wicked party.

Workers' salaries!!!

This is how we encourage our leaders to keep deflecting and shifting responsibility.

More like a child who fails his exams woefully. On getting home, he justified his woeful performance on the fact that other students also failed.

His parents will be like: *I sent you school to go and pass, not to go and fail like others*

* Gbosaaaa with hot slap to the cheek *

Rascal man!

Aregbesola the prodigal 'father'

Aregbe is threatening Punch reporters with Osun boys (thugs) for asking him to pay his civil servants

So Gov Rauf Aregbe still refused to pay?

he made sure Osun muslims in the state civil service celebrated this sallah in empty stomachs.
Nigerian politicians are really wicked.

From reports from my friends in Osun, i heard the governor has paid them four months salary arrears just about a week to sallah.

From "your friends", abi?

No other person in planet earth heard the news, except your friends. Even Gov Aregbe himself who knows the value of propaganda does not have that information. Else he would have been screaming from roof tops that he has paid.
