“It is absurd and outrageous for the Government of Osun to assert that the Adegboyega Oyetola administration owes over N75 billion in pay and pension arrears.”
“Let me state for the umpteenth time that we did not owe a penny in salary payments for four years while we took deliberate measures to pay down the backlog of pensions and gratuities we inherited. This also explains why there were no labor disputes for four years. Their calculation indicates that we owed wages for almost a full year. That seems feasible. Additionally, the Labour Union can attest to the fact that we always paid salaries on time since we did not take any bank loan for four years.”
“The new governor and his staff want to promote populism as their platform. Unfortunately, they are ignorant of populism’s idea and philosophy. They have turned to blackmail as a result. The Governor announced on the day of the inauguration that it would take time for him to pay wages because he needed to freeze government accounts so he could examine the books. He is now complaining that the wage payment delay makes him unhappy. We really signed off on November 20th for November salary. We will undoubtedly experience more drama.”
