Some senior citizens, who are the owners of buildings demolished by the administration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola for the expansion of some road projects in Osogbo on Tuesday stormed the House of Assembly to protest the nonpayment of about N2bn compensation since 2012.

The aged protesters, who had waited patiently for the Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem Salam, blocked him before the seamier before he entered into his office.

Armed with placards with various inscriptions, the protesters, who were owners of demolished buildings at Fakunle, Olaiya, MDS, Old Garage, Ayetoro and Baba Onisekere area made a passionate appeal to the speaker to persuade Aregbesola to pay them.

The chairman of the landlords, Moshood Oladejo, said the speaker demonstrated that he was a caring leader by choosing to address them on the spot.

They said they had met with the governor on some occasions and had written to him but he had not paid them the compensation he promised.

Oladejo said, those whose buildings were demolished after theirs had already been fully paid by the same government. He was wondering what caused the delay in paying them.

Oladejo, who suggested that the Goernor could pay the owners of the 350 buildings demolished in batches told the speaker that 10 of them had died because of lack of money.

He said majority of the owners of the buildings were retirees, who depended solely on rents from the buildings to feed.

Oladejo said, ” Our pain was made much more severe upon the discovery that the governor started set,ing those to be affected by the dual ideation of Odi Olowo.

“His Excellency has duly compensated our counterparts who fell victims of the same circumstance and has left us to our fate. The biting economic situation of the country coupled with the devastating reality of homelessness requires an urgent attention and intervention by your office and the governor.”

The speaker lauded the peaceful conduct of the aggrieved landlords but assured them that the lawmakers would discuss the issue with the governor.

He also commended for being patient with the government and for suggesting payment in batches which he said should be okay with the governor.

He asked the leadership of the aggrieved landlords to come and meet with members of the House of Assembly on Monday for a further discussion on the issue.

Which is why I love my state governor, Ayodele Fayoose. He pays compensation before demolition. Yet some people will still call him names.

Hope sey una get C of O, cos dat ogbeni stubborn oooo, e fit tell una make una go bring am before he pay una, alagbari ni ogbeni yen

Let him share odourless fufu for dem.

Aregberascal, Obagbese, Areonigbese . no be you voted for change? Enjoy it while it last

So sad....

So sad....APC - Always Punishing Citizens

Aregbesola is a very useless man like his brother here in Oyo state. When Ajimobi wanted to compensate house owners in Ogbomoso he was giving them 2 -5k naira. Just imagine

As lagos is noted for large populated business
state different business activities is going on

surulere where phone dealers are

This is interesting!

So Mr. Governor paid their counterpart and did not pay them? Nigerians

and our lawlessness sha!

The thing is the government has compensated those with the right papers,

C-o- O etc. But he also promised to pay those without documents too, but

they have to be patient.

Or does he use the money meant for the road construction to pay

compensation and leave the road being used by the general public to rot?

Aregbe trolls won't be happy with this new.

I thought some aregbe -e- rats are claiming he is a performing governor. Yeye people. People like aregbe should not be allowed to practice politics again until he is able to prove beyond doubt how he spent all the money accrued to osun state as governor. Terrible things happening. Someone that can't pay compensation and salaries how will he pay pensioners tooo.

DSS pls come and pick this one up...

The reason politicians continue to deceive us easily in this country is because we are too gullible. We read something, hear something, it's accepted completely without even one question. Terrible

These people did not mention that they did not have complete documents to lay claim to compensation like their other counterparts who have been compensated. Of course, they won't. What they want is to put pressure on Mr Governor by employing gullible Nigerians who do not know the facts but want to criticise anything they see about Aregbesola.

The truth is sacrifice must be made at all times, they do not have documents does not mean they are not entitled to their compensation but it will take longer and I do not think Osun has ignored them but with the situation with finance now, being a good manager, would one choose to complete the roads for the many who would use it first? Or pay compensation with its resources? It is a case of priorities and the truth is these landlords will have to be patient no doubt

Due respect ma but demolition is actually expensive to only people who really demolish because of the many projects they are doing. Not just one airport which they have not even decided on

Are you aware that some of the landlords have been fully compensated though or you just need something to wail about??

Are you more concerned about the state's financial hardship or the goodwill the governor still garners?
