OSUN State Chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has accused Governor Rauf Aregbesola of paying N20 billion from the N35 billion bailout fund he received from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to a road contractor at the expense of paying the state workers’ salary arrears.
The party alleged that the said money was paid to the contractor last week.
According to a statement by the state PDP’s Director of Media and Strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi in Osogbo, on Sunday, the party accused Aregbesola of misplacing his priority by diverting part of the bail out fund to pay the company handling the Osogbo Ring Road project at a time the workers are wallowing in abject poverty owing to unpaid salaries.
“We have it on good authority that the payment was effected last week Thursday and we have noticed that the contractor has returned to site with its men and equipment within 24 hours as requested by the governor,” the statement said.
The party alleged further that the N35 billion bailout had since been lodged in two banks adding that while the amount lodged in one of the banks is in a fixed deposit account, as earlier alleged by the party, the other part of the money had been withdrawn from another bank to pay the company said to have a very strong link to a Presidency figure.
