Existing ‘Excellent Relationship’ Between Adeleke Administration And Labour Giving APC ‘Headache’—Osun PDP
Osun state PDP has sympathized with the state APC over what the party called its pronounced agony as a result of the excellent relationship between Governor Ademola Adeleke government and workers in the state, submitting that ‘no amount of cheap rhetorics will wash away the ignoble records of the erstwhile ruling party in terms of the welfare of workers in the state’.
The state Caretaker Chairman, Dr Akindele Adekunle in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that the APC had failed woefully in the latest attempt to pose as a friend of the workers, adding that the issue of the promotion arrears was a mess created by the party which Governor Adeleke ‘is trying to clean up’.
Dr. Akindele stated Governor Adeleke’s commitment to paying the promotion arrears to workers as promised, explaining that the delay had nothing to do with the administration as disclosed by labour leaders in a viral communication to workers.
‘Is it not funny, or perhaps, absurd that the APC is now posing as an advocate for workers? This was the same party that made workers go through hell in the years it was in charge of the state out of deliberate wickedness.
The mistake the APC made was to think workers in the state have a short memory and will fall for its cheap antics going by their terrible experience while it was in charge. If the APC was this concerned about workers, the question is, why exactly did the welfare of workers suffer so badly on its watch?
Since coming on board, Governor Adeleke has shown serious commitment to the welfare of workers in Osun State and even pensioners. This is evident in the payment of the 30 months’ half salaries and pension owed by the APC administration. Even the promotion arrears in focus was one of the numerous liabilities inherited by Governor Adeleke from Oyetola, and as a true friend of workers, he is prepared to clear it.
Of a truth, the Governor Adeleke administration intends to pay the arrears along with March salary but couldn’t happen due to errors computation and reconciliation in salary records as attested to by Labour leaders in a message they sent to their colleagues yesterday.
The APC however seemed pained that workers showed understanding, hence, the reason for the frustration’ the statement said.
Dr. Akindele asked the APC to wake up to the reality of endless wailing as the bond between Governor Adeleke and civil servants in the state remains unbreakable, adding that the PDP-led government will not only ensure total cleaning up of the mess created by the APC but would also take more steps to improve the welfare of workers in the state- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
