PDP to Aregbesola: Your govt worst since 1999
THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, Sunday, described the eight years in office of Governor Rauf Aregbesola as the worst the state has ever had since the return of democratic rule in 1999. This position is contained in a statement issued by the Osun State chairman of the PDP, Mr. Soji Adagunodo. The party also described the governor as a legendary failure who is leaving the state worse than it was when he took over in 2010. Aregbesola While berating Aregbesola for engaging in a childish self glorification in an all night programme held on Friday, Adagunodo said the governor and his herds of clappers should understand that the people of Osun State whose lives have been made miserable by the governor’s misrule will continue to pray that there would be no repeat of the mistake that brought the APC into governance in the first instance.
The statement reads: “It is already on record that it is during the tenure of Ogbeni Aregbesola that Osun was ranked by BUDGIT as one of the four most indebted states and the least fiscally responsible state in Nigeria. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/11/risky-to-return-power-to-pdp-buhari-should-continue-garba-shehu/“It was during these same years that the state found itself on the lowest rung of performance of students in public examinations; a situation which made us a laughing stock even among states hitherto considered educationally disadvantaged in Nigeria. “Human life and development had never been this compromised as medical doctors, health workers, lecturers and civil servants embarked on strikes for a cumulative period of not less than 3 and a half years during Aregbesola’s administration.”
“The road from Osogbo through Iwo to Ibadan which the governor boasted would be rehabilitated by Julius Berger in 2012 was never started and must today rank among the worst roads in Nigeria. “It is similarly on record that a recent survey by an international organisation ranked Osun as one of the 3 dirtiest states in Nigeria. This is in spite of the billions of Naira siphoned by local and state government officials in the guise of environmental sanitation.” “Our party notes that while Osun is very happy that the reign of Ogbeni Aregbesola is coming to an end, the people are rather sad at the legacy of impunity and fraud that Mr Governor and his party introduced to our political landscape as exemplified in the September 22nd and 27th governorship election in Osun State. It is one ugly legacy which has put the name of our dear state on the dark spot of political discourse within and outside Nigeria.” Vanguard
