Press Statement

N16b Secret Release To Osun Is Corruption, PDP Tells Buhari.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accuses President Muhammadu Buhari of aiding corruption in the secret release of over N16.6 billion Paris Club fund to Osun state.

PDP says its investigation has revealed that the N16.67bn is to be diverted as bribe to INEC officials, compromised international observers as well as pay hoodlum contracted by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in its desperate plot to rig the September 22, 2018 Osun Governorship elections.

The party said it is reprehensible that President Buhari, whose handlers have been parading as ‘Mr. Integrity’, could approve such dark scheme to convert funds meant for payment of several months’ arrears of workers’ salaries to bribe electoral officers and pay thugs to foist a rejected leadership on an already impoverished people.

Further investigation reveals that bulk of the money has already been penciled for sharing to APC leaders, especially at the national level, as bribe, to short-circuit the system to favour President Buhari’s relection bid, while the people of Osun continue to suffer deprivation.

The PDP has been further made aware of how part of the fund will be moved to private company accounts as well as various hidden locations for the compromised INEC officials and APC leaders.

Indeed, these revelations have clearly shown that the Buhari Presidency and the APC care less about the welfare of Nigerians and have completely sold themselves to sleazes and corruption for selfish gains.

The PDP therefore charges the people of Osun State, particularly the workers to rise up and reject this direct assault on their rights, sensibilities and survival as a people, by the APC, which have become notorious for corruption and subversion of rules.

Moreover, the PDP has been at alert regarding the movement of these funds and other secret deals between the APC and INEC and will not hesitate to expose the INEC officials, including a close relation of the President, who has been the arrow head of plots to rig elections for the APC.

The PDP invites the world to note how President Buhari and the APC, who were huge beneficiaries of credible elections conducted by the PDP in 2015, are bent at destroying our hard-earned democracy, just because they have been rejected by Nigerians.

Nevertheless, in spite of these machinations, the PDP wants the APC to know that it has not retracted the resolve to contend with it head to head, in all ramifications and magnitude, to discomfit and dismantle its rigging machinery, beginning with September 22, 2018 Osun state governorship election.

The PDP commends state governors, particularly a few in the APC, who have spoken out against this sneaky act by the Buhari Presidency.

Our party will continue to work with these patriotic individuals in the overall quest to free our nation from the shackles and misrule of the Buhari-led APC.

thanks, alright.. I'm usually civil but you know u should not keep quiet when people gang up to bully you online because you don't agree with them.

secondly I'm not a pdp supporter,not that I'm afraid to admit that, infact in this election I'm actually indifferent, because a new shiny governor does not mean everything will suddenly change in the twinkle of an eye..

but to be honest, I secretly wish omisore should win..


[s]and thirdly, I can only speak on what I know and what Im witnessing,so it is irrelevant to be comparing aregbe to other governors ( in the east)

He did well in osogbo, that is undeniable, but when you see propagandist regurgitating nonsense that he built all those roads you see online all over osun state, and you know it's nothing but a lie, you have to talk out.
you only need to take a major tour all around osun towns, and your eyes will quickly open.

However if you read my posts very well, roads or not, or other things are not why I'm against aregbe.
I'm against him because of salaries and pensions...
he used Jonathan as an excuse first, then he said if Buhari wins, that will be a thing of the past.
then Buhari won, and the situation got worse, despite collecting more than one bailout funds which the Fg said categorically it should be used to pay salaries and pensions.
All the pensioners that retired during Aregbe's regime have not collected gratuity, talk less of being paid their normal monthly stipends...civil servants are owed a year and 7 months salary and with election a few days away, he is definitely not gonna pay up...
thats the highest height of wickedness, I refused to follow a politician dogmentically, I'm a commoner and my sympathy lies with fellow commoners...

you will see apc goons uploading roads and schools,but non payment of salary and pensions does not matter to them.

CodeTemplar:
Aregbesola increased loan repayment and loan repayment duration by at least 450% and 200% respectively. Any average mathematician knowns what that means for either a simple interest or principal interest loan system.
Please show us where I lied about IGR increase.

A 1000% increase and 30% increase in IGR is an economic mismatch.

Johnnyessence:
I have burst your lies and propaganda here now. you have nothing to tweet. lol. let me come and be going jare. deomelo the Ajele of Nairaland.

CodeTemplar:
Ascribing Anabra to Osun voters will do you no good. face facts on ground. Nobody has denied your mushroom project but people are concerned about the cost of those project to the future generation, their own generation and the state.

CodeTemplar:
Those yardstick you are trying to sell here by tagging people as easterners or iPod aren't intelligent.
To whom much is given much is expected.
Why not let us compare his performance to his level of funding?
1. Compare debt increase of almost 1000% to IGR increase of just 30% and tell us if it looks fair to you.
2. Compare the fact that Aregbe once paid workers 13th month salary when the state was receiving huge oil windfall to the fact that he is now paying half salary. Has the state workers suddenly gone lazy just because oil prices dwindled?
3. Same Aregbe once said the people are too poor to be taxed and now he is over deducting their meagre pay through funny loan repayment.

These are better yardstick to measure his performance than comparing him to a state(s) that didn't take up to 35% the loans Osun took.

Let's us be objective people are dying of hunger.

Did he increase IGR proportionately as debt or not?

30% increase in IGR now justifies almost 1000% increase in debt.

I can tell you have sold your soul to a fiscal tyrant for whatever.

Those guys will invade here to tell you their governor is exporting vegetable

shosky1794:
On a particular thread, you said in Ogun State and that the person quoted was wrong even when the guy was saying the truth. Just like I said on that thread performance is relative. You have to compare the performance of a governor or a party to the previous one. Another angle is to compare the performance of a governor to other governors in the the country. Most of the people supporting the PDP candiate here are from the Eastern part of the country. Why don't they compare the performance of Aregbe to governors from the East who spent 8 years. Abia, Ebonyi(before Umahi), Imo. Also compare the performance of Aregbe to the governors before him in the state, Akande, Oyinlola(who spent 5-6yrs). We all went to school so let's argue with facts, figures like we were taught. Please try and be civil when making your points next time. Thanks

Everybody is either iPod or PDP if they don't sing praise sheepishly. What is IGR? How Much garment factory, cocoa processing company, and recycling factory producing?
What about tax? What is debt level? why is faac so low? Why is he suddenly withholding the salary of those he once paid 13th month salary? Why are people hungry in Osun? Why is there still so much rituals and I security after acquisition of hiluxes and copters? Could it be lack of fueling causing the grounding of those vehicles? Why are hospitals lacking so many basic things? Why are students reqreting choosing Osun owned schools as choice? Why why why ?
Don't forget you can find yourself in Osun some day also so do well with your privileges.

CodeTemplar:
...In same proportion as debt increase. observe that part and stop spamming your own propaganda thread with needless information and address my original comment.

CodeTemplar:
Is governance squarely a game of unmaintainable projects?

CodeTemplar:
Keep quiet and stop spamming your own propaganda thread. Any body who dares speak against aregbes style is either PDP or ipob? Go to iragbiji or Iwo axis and see things for yourself Instead of hiding in another state and sampling images.

Johnnyessence:
Oyinlola led pdp government only spent 7 and half years in government and not 9 OK. I have been telling you that your lies and propaganda will never help your party. it will never hold any water.

CodeTemplar:
Did he improve IGR? he increased debt but not revenue in same proportion. That isn't a smart idea.

Aregbesola has increased Osun IGR above 30%


THE chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mr Babatunde Fowler on Monday said Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s administration had raised the state Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) above 30 per cent between 2016 and 2017.

Most indebted also. Who read is repaying the debts? Maybe we should also praise him for half salary and lack of maintenance funds he is leaving us with.

Johnnyessence:
deomelo, you are Ajele, so get off from my comment here. when have you reach osun state. you are in Lagos getting some pictures from Apc twitter handle to post on nairaland. stop arguing with the osun based people OK.

Johnnyessence:
thanks for your reply here. it shows that you are osun based and not Ajele.

olril17:
I'm not for any opposition, you can read my past posts, you will not see me categorically supporting any politician or party...im pro the people, the people first before any other thing.

it grates me when you see people sidestepping or totally ignoring the wrongs aregbe has done and promote him with pictures of roads,they paint osun state like if everything is rosy..you only need to be in osogbo, without going to other places to see how much suffering is going on, real time suffering... unexpressed pain and anger..

you think it's easy to be retired for almost a decade and not even collect a quarter of your gratuity not to talk of normal pensions?
or civil servants being owed an incredible one year and 7months full salary?
the people in these categories have bitter tales to tell...
in osun state we don't have any major industries,what we relied on is civil servants money and once civil servants don't get money, everyone will suffer.

apart from osogbo, which other major towns has good roads, Ede is terrible ,ife is an eyesore, ikirun, don't even go there, iwo is laughably bad, okinni is a satellite little town of osogbo, despite being near osogbo, you will just laugh when you get there..
people who live in these areas and who are on this forum can counter me and I will keep quiet.

come to Osun, it's not all good as you read on social media.
and if Apc win, I will just laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh because it shows Nigerians are their own problems.

olril17:
I promise you now that I gonna take pictures soon..
so people will see the amazing things aregbe has done for osun... he has turned osun to a mega state..

and if you read the news or you are current,then I don't need to take pictures before you know of the case of dieing civil servants and suffering pensioners....abi make I take pictures of those ones again?
