Osun State peoples Democratic Party has charged the the good people of the State to rise up and be counted in the ongoing efforts by the party to rescue the State from political herdsmen, who have principally come to rob the State and destroy her present and future valuables.
The party urged all Nigerians resident in the State to as a matter of urgent necessity, move beyond the systemic seed of division, wickedly planted among the people and take full charge of their state from political buccaneers who have unleashed unimaginable poverty on the people, in the wake of their reckless looting of the state’s commonwealth.
A statement released by the State social media director of PDP, Oladele Bamiji on Wednesday, called on the masses, particularly Osun West area of the State, to use the opportunity of July 8 Senatorial bye election to make a clear statement of intent to break the State loose from claws of economic funeral undertakers, who out of sheer greed and internal looting competition amongst themselves, have effectively buried the State economy.
Specifically, the party wondered how the State government led by Mr Rauf Aregbesola, could muster courage to still look the people of Osun West District of the State in the eyes and ask them for vote, having demonstrated so much wickedness and insults against the same people in almost 7years of his reign as the State governor.
Bamiji queried the moral footing of insulting audacity of governor Aregbesola to beg for votes of Osun West after so much heinous crimes and pains inflicted on the people of the district. He listed some of the willful shortcomings of the State governor against Osun West district to include; abandonment of MKO International Airport, Ido-Osun after several billions of naira have been borrowed to execute same, Abandonment of Akoda-Gbongan road dualization project, after awarding the road for over one billion Naira a kilometer and securing sufficient loans to execute same, total neglect of Osogbo-Iwo-Ibadan road after several deceitful promises to fix the the road, wasting of several billions of borrowed funds to plant invisible flowers on the highway of Ibadan-Ikire-Gbongan road and many other crimes too numerous to mention.
According to Bamiji, the same looted borrowed funds meant for the listed abandoned projects are now being serviced with the State monthly allocations to the tune of over 2billion naira every month. This he said, has culminated into non payment of workers salary and pensioners stipends, stretching to almost 2years and counting. Our people must therefore, rise up and stand to this challenge, join hands with Olasoji Adagunodo led PDP in the state, beginning with a massive vote for PDP candidate in the July 8 Osun West Senatorial bye election, Otunba Ademola Adeleke, and put a stop to the blind wickedness of Aregbesola- Apc led administration in the state.
