Osogbo —From Osun State chapter of Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday came a warning
that the state may be plunged into serious
security crises, if salaries are not paid within
seven days.
This is just as the party warned the governor’s
aides against insulting people that are making
efforts to bail the state out of the “quagmire”,
Governor Aregbesola had already admitted the
state is in.

The PDP, in a statement issued in Osogbo by the
party’s Director of Media and Strategy, Prince
Diran Odeyemi, said from all indications, the June
30 deadline for the payment of salaries by
Aregbesola, rather than solving the problem, is
heightening tension among residents.
According to him, the situation was not helped by
the demands of Ramadan period and urged
Ogbeni Aregbesola to ensure workers are paid by
21st of June to stem rising tension among the
residents.
The PDP said: “We have rightly been informed
that crime rate is on the rise, no thanks to the
economic crises Ogbeni has plunged the state
into. Many more people are taking to crime
because of cash crunch.
“And despite the concerted efforts by the police
that have resulted in arrests, these criminals can
not be kept for more than 24hours because courts
are under lock.”
Making reference to the reply of Osun State
Government to the tweet by Senator Ben Murray-
Bruce, who announced donation of his wardrobe
allowance to unpaid Osun workers, the PDP said
Aregbesola risks people’s revolt because of
insulting replies to those that are willing to bail
the pauperised Osun people out of claw of
hunger.
