Osun state chapter of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday described
Governor Rauf Aregbesola alleged approval to spend
N50 million on fireworks and Christmas decorations
in some major towns of the state as “wasteful
spending and mis placement of priority”
Since coming on board in 2010, the administration
of Governor Aregbesola during festive seasons
usually adorn strategic places in Osogbo the state
capital and some major towns with lightings
decorations and fireworks.
But the PDP in a statement issued in Osogbo by its
director of media and publicity, Prince Diran
Odeyemi, claimed spending as much as N50
million on fireworks and lightings when workers in
the state are being paid half salary with 5 months
salary outstanding, “is absurd, a waste of scarce
resources that suggests some people are hiding
behind the project to steal public funds”.
The statement further reads: “why would a sensitive
governor at this critical period be planning to
expend such a huge amount, that is only N5million
short of the net Osun allocation after deductions of
all debts for month of October, on fireworks, what
are celebrating in Osun”
“In the past, Mr. Aregbesola had used this
particular means to waste public funds and no one
dare question him. But at this point that federal
allocation of four years time had already been spent
by Mr. Governor since last year August, then we are
taking it upon ourselves to expose the shady deal.”
It then advised that, “if truly no one would benefit
from the contract sum, the government should
immediately suspend the plan because what people
in Osun need at the moment is not Christmas
decorations but their salary to buy food.”
“Obviously, Government House is not lacking food
and other basic necessities. However, Mr. Governor
should know majority of homes in Osun could no
longer afford three square meal, no thanks to
capital flight, irregular payment of salaries, non
payment for services rendered for government and
poor patronage of local contractors by the present
administration. In the light of these, Mr. Aregbesola
should give pay workers salary and not fireworks
through which some people will milk the state,” the
statement concluded

If it is true Aregbe allowed such, then he deserves to be put in check. That expense makes absolutely no sense considering what the state is going thru.

And if he didn't approve the money, they will call him "anti Christian ".

.

Some people will still applaud him. Shame on change.
