The Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri, has berated the governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola for allegedly budgeting a whopping 18.6 billion for the running of his office while workers in the state are yet to be paid salary since October 2014.

It will be recalled that in January, during the budget defense at the State House of Assembly, Mr Gboyega Oyetola, the Chief of Staff to Governor Aregbesola, disclosed that the budget for the Governor’s Office for 2015 is N18,645,514,610.

reno-omokriAccording to Oyetola, N1,159,000,000 is expected to be expended on salaries, allowances and other remuneration of career officers and political office holders in the Office of the Governor.

The sum of N3,775,000,000 is expected to be spent on general administration of bureaus and agencies in the Office of the Governor, as part of overhead costs.

The payment of salaries to the Governor, the Deputy Governor, Judges, the State Independent Electoral Commission and others would gulp N2billion.

On Tuesday, civil servants in Osun State staged a protest against the alleged non-payment of five months salaries by the state government.

The workers, led by the Chairman of the Trade Union Congress in the state, Mr. Olatunji Akinyemi, marched through the Osogbo/Gbongan road, chanting anti-government songs.

RenoOsunThe workers said that apart from the failure of the Governor Rauf Aregbesola -led administration to pay them the outstanding salaries, the same government had refused to remit pension deducted from their previous salaries to their various retirement savings accounts.

They claimed that the governor was busy spending the state’s resources on campaigns of the All Progressives Congress and left workers to suffer untold hardship

Omokri, took to his Twitter page, on Wednesday, to question the manner of change been promoted by the All Progressives Congress, APC, if one of its governors cannot pay workers’ salaries, describing it as a foretaste of the change APC promises

“Imagine the reaction if a PDP Gov budgets 18.6 Billion for his office yet cant to pay workers #whatmannerofchange? ” he posted on his twitter page.

A Former Treasurer Mobil Producing Unlimited International begging for food in your Imagination shows how illogical you reason.

Tinubu bankrolled 80% of all NADECO activities yet you assume he will be a squatter? use your head at times.

A man forfeits $460,000 using your own figure to pay off CONVERT $460,000 TO naira AND THINK IF ANYONE IN YOUR VILLAGE COULD MATCH THAT.

Stop all this your foolish rants. Tinubu wasn't mention in this thread is he?

I'm sure your AKPD organized the POLL on AIT and the one done by RENO OMOKRI the Presidential aide too.

Even Keshi will make noise and boast wildly before a football MATCH with BRAZIL but after the final whistle reality sets in and tears and anguish follows.

who doesn't know GMB will be the NEXT PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.
Why do you think GEJ has turned Lagos to his bedroom in the last one month, did he receive report SHEKAU dey Marina ni?

PDP is my home, good luck to propagandists—Muazu

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Muazu, has said that the party is his home and will never leave it, following rumour of a rift between him and President Goodluck Jonathan.

Muazu took to his verified Twitter account, to debunk the rumour and reiterated his loyalty to the party and the president. The tweets were also signed by him (#AM) to underscore the importance.

The former governor of Bauchi, noted that he has remained in the party since its formative stage in 1998 and will not leave it for a regional, sectional or ethnic party.

He also wished the oppositions "goodluck in the propaganda business", stressing that the PDP has an election to win.

A local think tank, the Center for Public Policy Alternatives, gives Buhari a 58% to 32% lead in Lagos state, where Jonathan won the last election. Eurasia Group thinks Jonathan’s approval rating is below the 40% threshold under which incumbents have a hard time getting reelected.

Buhari faults crackdown on Boko Haram
JUNE 3, 2013

Presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 Presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has frowned on the emergency rule in parts of the North. He alleged that innocent civilians were being killed in the states.

Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government.

are u trying to make xcuse for a fed govt that says they ve found a thief and cant arrest him.

akanbiaa:
In as much as I don't like to be partisan I don't see the set of people condemning Osun state government for non payment also condemning Benue state Government, is it that as long as it's PDP no matter the sins it's nothing worthy to criticize? Even when aregbe did a lot of programs that touched the grass root and I hardly hear anything about the developmental programs of Suswan yet the e warriors here are not saying anything, these proves my point that many online users are paid to post what they post and not a genuine will to post what is right and make Nigeria better.

bushdoc9919:
Yes.....PDP too has issues with salary....yet Reno is looking at Osun

Still....the main issue is that States do not know how to make money for the state coffers. T[b]hat is why I laff in Chinese at people calling for resource control....when many states have not learned how to mange and develop their resources by themselves....how can a region do the same.[/b]

Nigerian State Governors better learn how to use the available resources to develop their states. The age of allawee from Abuja is at an end. Oyel prices are falling. Benue can use its oranges to develop something.

Truth is that most of the people the NA have been killing so far are not BH, they just go somewhere, fire shots randomly and tag them BH.

Nigerian Troops Responsible For Liberation Of Seized Towns – Shettima

Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima has yesterday said that 90 per cent of the ongoing battle to reclaim seized territories under the Boko Haram terrorists is being carried out by the Nigerian armed forces and not by the foreign troops as “wrongly” perceived by the media.

Shettima insisted that soldiers of Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republics cannot claim undue credits for the current successes being recorded over Boko Haram because the Nigerian forces are playing larger role in the exercise.

“We appreciate their efforts and support for the government of Nigeria, but it should be known that the bulk of the job of cleansing our society of these Boko Haram lunatics is being done by officers and men of the Nigerian armed forces who are ably supported by the Nigeria Air force”

1. why will the army fire on their own brand new acquired Reva MRAPs ?
2. Ak-47 bullet holes on an MRAP
3. They are not mercineries but staff of the company training our soldiers on the said Reva MRAP.
Those two men died(RIP) but this story doesn't add up.

DTaj:
God bless you, Amaka! You captured my thoughts! Most politicians are the same in character and attitude, but on balance, a simple comparison of the major characters in both APC and PDP clearly shows that APC has far more people with panache, education, intellectual disposition, articulate mien, and presence than those of the PDP. PDP seems at home with rascals, loafers, thugs, clowns, nut-heads, and nincompoops....

omenka:
You just gotta love the class that this party exudes. Aye Dee and his Nairaland alter ego would be seething with envy no doubt.

Just the pictures alone tell you these are men of high intellect.

General Buhari, Pastor Osinbajo, Nigerians eagerly await both of you sirs.

dustmalik:
If this is indeed true, then Fashola would be right to blame GEJ for the robbery, taken into consideration that the redeployment of Police personnel because of GEJ's visit was most likely the reason why the bank robbery was successful. The bank robbers knew that GEJ's visit would make it easy for them.
