APC GOVERNORS HELPED AREGBESOLA PAY OSUN WORKERS, JULY SALARY - PDP The Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State on Friday expressed gratitude to the governments of Rivers, Lagos and other All Progressives Congress-controlled states for helping the State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, pay workers’ salaries. Osun PDP, in a statement by its chairman, Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa, said the APC governors’ action enabled Aregbesola’s government, “which apparently lacks respect for the welfare of workers”, to pay part of the July salaries of its workforce. “We wonder for how long the APC governors will continue to bail out Aregbesola and his government, which has mortgaged the state through needless debts and loans despite having no tangible achievement to show for the excessive borrowing in the last three years and eight months”, the statement read in part. The PDP warned civil servants in the state not to be deceived by Aregbesola’s “eleventh hour payment of salary through subventions from APC states”, saying it was unsustainable and was at best targeted at hoodwinking the workforce to vote for the APC in the forthcoming governorship election slated for August 9. “We doubt if a government that failed to contribute to the statutory pension of its hardworking workforce and still used the workers’ contribution as collateral for needless borrowing can be trusted as it faced rejection from the people ahead of a governorship election”, the PDP added. In a quick response, Aregbesola’s media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, said the allegation was a figment of the PDP’s imagination.
