……. *Laments Aregbesola six years of disaster
A civil rights group under the auspices of Civil Societies Coalition
for the Emancipation of Osun State (CSCEOS) has revealed how the State
governor, Mr. Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola, flew the sum of N2billon Osun
State Ecological funds to Ondo State in support of the candidate of
their new party, the Alliance for Democracy(AD), Mr. Olushola Oke
before and during the Saturday 26th,November,2016 governorship
election in the State.
The Civil group also revealed that the fund has been in the custody
of the former Special Adviser and now Consultant on Environmental
Sanitation to Governor Aregbesola, Mr. Bola Ilori who doubles as the
Director- General of Olusola Oke Campaign Organization, seeking the
thorough and credible investigation of these funds being taken to Ondo
State on frivolities which has no positive impact on the lives of the
State masses by the anti-graft agencies, the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission(EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and
Other Related Offences Commission(ICPC).
It describes Aregbesola six years in office as the State governor of
the State as a disaster and embodiment of corruption, during which
mass of our people have been inflicted with hunger and calamities,
lamenting the capital flight of the State funds to Lagos State and
neighbouring States by Aregbesola since six years of his
administration in Osun State.
Commenting on the Six years anniversary of Aregbesola in office,
through a statement signed by the CSCEOS’ Chairman, Comrade Adeniyi
Sulaiman, which a copy was made available to newsmen on Friday, stated
that the six years of the present administration in office was nothing
to write home about, saying that all the acclaimed fraudulent and
moribund developmental projects embarked upon by the State government
were with the great social cost and pain.
It insisted that Aregbesola has been rule the State as sole
administrator without members of the State Executive Council in the
last two (2) years of his second term in office, adding that the State
government was still owing Ten(10) and eleven(11) months’ salary and
pension due arrears to the workers and retirees alike respectively.
According to the group; “It is surprised that the State government
under the watch of Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola which its gasping for
breeding financially and still owing Ten (10) and eleven (11) months’
salary and pension due arrears to the workers and retirees alike
respectively, could still dig his hand into the Ecological funds of
the State for sponsoring of Alliance for Democracy (AD) candidate, Mr.
Olusola Oke, in the November 2016 Ondo State governorship election
with the sum of N2billon.This is high time for the anti-graft agencies,the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) and the Independent
Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
“It is disastrous to have Mr. Rauf Aregbesola as the governor of Osun State
in the last six years, the mass of our people have been inflicted with
the hunger,
miserable diseases,poverty, homelessness, and squalor. The administration had
also been laced with corruption, capital flight, groan, tears, and burden of
domestic and foreign debt and chronic shortchange of the masses with
anti-peoples policies.
