Osun Guber: FG Trying To Cripple My Administration – Aregbesola


Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun
State has raised the alarm over the Federal Government's plan to
cripple his administration before the August 9 gubernatorial election.
Speaking during an open-house session, tagged 'Gbangbadekun',
where he met with the grassroots people, the artisans, market
women among others in Ijebu-Jesa, Oriade Local Government,
Aregbesola lamented drastic drop in allocation to the state.
He further accused the Federal Government of a deliberate attempt
to weaken states controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC)
.
Aregbesola, who is seeking re-election for a second term, however,
assured that, despite the development, his administration will
continue to pay workers' salaries as at when due.
"The Federal Government, aside from the drop in the allocation, has
devised means to cripple our government before the August election
by not giving us the statutory monthly allocation", he said.
"Let me tell you that there are plans by the federal government not
to release the allocation of the coming months before the election so
as to cripple our government, thinking that we will not be able to pay
workers salary. I want to tell you that they have failed because we
will device means of paying our workers".
The governor reiterated his promise that his administration will not
sack any worker despite the drop in funds from the federation
account.
