Aregbesola
The All Progressives Congress, Osun State chapter, has called on civil servants in the state to exercise patience with Governor Rauf Aregbesola over their unpaid salaries.
The party assured that their outstanding salaries would be paid in no distant time.
The Director of Publicity of the APC in the state, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, made this appeal in a statement issued in Osogbo on Tuesday to greet Muslims ahead of the commencement of the Ramadan.
The APC added that governor Aregbesola was working round the clock to ensure payment of their salaries as soon as possible.
According to the party, “Nigeria is going through a financial tragedy which was avoidable, but had befallen the country owing, fundamentally, to human selfishness and carelessness, including gross mismanagement of the country’s financial resources.
“In times like this, when we face a collective challenge approaching the Ramadan, our faith must not waver, our restraint must not snap and our perseverance should hold firm so that we can triumph over this tragedy within the fasting period.
“We give assurances to government workers and the people who depend on government that this crisis of non-payment of salaries and other entitlements will very soon be resolved”.
The APC, therefore, urged the workers and the other residents of the state to disregard the “evil characters amongst us” who he said were trying to incite them against the government over the issue.
“But as Ramadan approaches, our spiritual self-restraint should take control of our emotional and financial strains, and Osun should demonstrate that their religious faith is solid and capable of withstanding what we are going through.
“It is only through this unflinching demonstration of active faith that Allah will grant us relief and victory over our problems,” he added.
