Aregbesola
The governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has linked the current financial crisis rocking several states in the country to the system of government that the nation is practicing.
Aregbesola stated this on the floor of the Osun State House of Assembly during a special sitting organized by the Assembly on Saturday to commemorate the 50th birthday anniversary of the Speaker of the Assembly, Folasayo Nojeem Salaam, noting that Nigeria’s democracy was costly, and contributed to the current financial crisis.
The governor said all the three arms of government, in a bid to operate separately as demanded by the system, were competing and struggling for the resources, which at the end may not be adequate.
It would be recalled that Governor Aregbesola has been under fire for the inability of the Osun State government to the state’s workers, with arrears running into several months. This, the governor attributed to dwindling allocation to the state from the federation account.
