Half Salary, Demotion Not ‘Under Consideration’, Gov Adeleke Assures Osun Workers

Osun state Government has dismissed the claim that there were plans to pay half salary to workers in the state or get some among them demoted describing the rumour  as outright falsehood and wicked fabrication.

Governor  Ademola Adeleke’s spokesman, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, who disclosed this in a statement made available to  Team@orientactualmags.com, noted that  such a suggestion had never be laid on the table.

‘We affirm that the Osun state Government under Governor Ademola Adeleke’s leadership  has not and will not demote any worker. There is also no plan to introduce half salary. 

Additionally, we declare that the content of the said story and all the references to a supposed worker are mere fabrications to undermine the very strong bond between Governor Adeleke and Osun workers, both in the formal and the informal sector.

The bond of partnership between this administration and the workers was further cemented at this year’s May Day celebration where labour leaders praised the extraordinary commitment of Governor Adeleke to welfare of workers.

The May Day event also saw confirmation by all stakeholders that Governor Adeleke was the first governor in Osun state to have  welfare  of workers as the first item on his governance agenda.

Members of the public and the labour movement also acknowledged that the present administration has been cleaning up the mess and the evil fallouts of years of maladministration by the APC in Osun state. Part of that acclaimed steps is the template adapted to clear years of half salary and pensions owed Osun workers. 

It is therefore a failed hatchet job by the defeated All Progressives Congress (APC) to allege that a solution provider, a worker-friendly  governor and a performing leader of a peoples’ government is planning any anti-labour agenda

Let us remind the sponsors of fake news that the Adeleke administration inherited over N400 billion debt from the previous administration, a very low allocation from the federation account, a demoralized public service, vastly looted public facilities, a very deep state infrastructure deficit and a disillusioned citizenry due to a government of deceit under the former Governor.

Governor Adeleke has since been working round the clock to restore public confidence in government, to bridge the infrastructural gap, to clear backlogs of salaries owed to workers, to rebuild the public service, to sanitize public finance, and to digitalize economy of Osun state

Osun people rewarded the Governor by massively voting for PDP in all recent federal and state elections. And across Osun state, citizens are undergoing intense prayers for the validation, confirmation, prevalence and sustenance of their governorship choice by the Supreme Court. The prayer of Osun voters is that  the good governance they are enjoying and the people’s governor they voted for will continue in office by God, man and the Lord Justices of the Supreme Court.

We therefore urge members of the public to ignore the fake news about demotion of workers and re-introduction of half salaries. Governor Adeleke is an apostle of good governance and grassroots development who upholds workers’ rights and aspirations of Osun people’ the statement said-Team@orientactualmags.com
