Aregbesola to pay salaries soon, says APC

The All Progressives Congress has assured workers in
Osun State that Governor Rauf Aregbesola will soon pay
them their outstanding salaries.
The Director of Publicity of the APC in the state, Mr.
Kunle Oyatomi, gave this assurance in a statement
made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on
Tuesday to greet Muslims ahead of the commencement
of the Ramadan.
The party appealed to the workers to exercise more
patience and perseverance, while stating that
Aregbesola was working round the clock to ensure
payment of their salaries.
The statement read, ” 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.
The ruling party stated that the opposition parties
were incapable of suggesting a solution, but were out
to sow discord and to rejoice on the misfortune of
others.
“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.
