FG Bent On Crippling My Administration

The Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has
alleged that the Federal Government is bent on
crippling his administration before the August 9
gubernatorial election.
Fielding questions during ‘Gbangbadekun’, a
government public interactive feedback
programme in Ijebu-Jesa, Oriade Local
Government, the governor lamented drastic drop
in allocation to the state.
He accused the Federal Government of a
deliberate attempt to weaken states controlled by
the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Aregbesola however assured that, despite the
development, his administration will continue to
pay the workers 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.
