The Osun state government has declared that,those illegally employed by former administration led by Mr Gboyega Oyetola are no longer in the employment of the state government and no amount of blackmail can change that reality.
In response to the demonstration held by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the end of the previous government.
According to the statement signed by the Special Assistant, Community Communications to Governor Ademola Adeleke, Mr Tunde Busari, stated that Mr Oyetola deliberately padded the state payroll with APC members to create stage for deeper financial crisis, conflict and disharmony.”
Those engaging in demonstrations are APC members smuggled into the state payroll by former Governor Oyetola.
By virtue of the Executive Order issued by Mr Governor, those illegally employed remain sacked and are no longer staff of the state government. No amount of demonstration and blackmail can change that reality.”
We have the details of plan by APC to deploy its disengaged members for demonstration. However, the people of Osun state are in the know of the whole situation especially the several warnings by the PDP while in opposition.
We warned against colluding with Mr Oyetola during those last days when the former Governor was issuing employment letter despite the State’s inability to pay staff salaries.”
Those APC members are now playing the script. They have failed from the beginning as this administration will not bow to unjustified demands from those who collaborated to deepen Osun financial woes”, the statement noted.
