Half Pay: Offer Labour Unconditional Apology For Giving Public Wrong Information, Osun APC Tells PDP

Osun state APC has asked the ruling PDP  to publicly apologize to government workers in the state for allegedly misinforming members of the public noting that this was sequel to the alleged falsehood and gibberish being fed the public by the state government in respect of the inherited accumulated half salaries so far paid by the Governor Ademola Adeleke administration.

It would be recalled that the PDP had in a statement issued  by  the Chairman of the state caretaker committee , Dr Akindele Adekunle asserted  that Governor Adeleke has paid all the inherited 30 months’ half salaries within four months .

‘It is not farfetched to observe and conclude that Dr Akindele dubiously made the fallacious statement in order to dupe and insult the collective intelligence of Osun workers and the general public.

A fact check on the disclosure of the half salaries paid so far by the Adeleke administration shows that only two out of the 30 months’ half salaries have been paid by the ruling PDP administration.

In the sixth paragraph of the PDP’s statement dated 06/04/2023, the state PDP caretaker chairman had stated that:  ‘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’ Osun state APC  noted in a statement issued by the Acting state Chairman , Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, which was made available to  Team@orientactualmags.com by the party’s  Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi.

APC also accused  the state PDP chairman of using falsehood  to drive the operations of the party and public conversations in the state.

‘While we are not unappreciative of the two months’ half salaries offset by Adeleke, it is pertinent to inform the  confused and expired Osun State PDP caretaker chairman that his falsity in this regard is capable of being a recipe for avoidable unrest in the state when he fraudulently stated that the Adeleke administration has paid 30 months’ half salaries whereas nothing like that has been done.

It is not unlikely that whoever talks too much will, one day, talks himself into a monumental trouble that may rubbish him in the similar situation that Dr Akindele and his co-travellers are now finding themselves.

Is Dr Akindele not aware that the gibberish that he put into the public domain is capable of instigating the creditors of some of the government workers who might be thinking that they had truly collected the whole of the 30 months’ half salaries?

Was it right for the PDP caretaker chairman, who hails from Ondo State, not to read through whatever is written for him by his media aide who also hails from Ilora in Oyo State before  appending his signature?

We can see the level of the damage done by an imported caretaker party chairman and his media aide who  are bereft of the residual knowledge of the state whose preoccupation is to daily flood the media space with jabberwockies without any regard for its correctness.

The fact of the issue is that it is not correct that Adeleke has paid the  Osun State workers the 30 months’ half salaries but only two and this should form the basis that the garrulous PDP caretaker chairman and Governor Adeleke must tender an unconditional apology to the Osun State workers.

Let it be on record that as a government, we also paid arrears of half salaries. The only difference is that we never played politics with it as we concentrated on contributory pensioners at the state and local government levels’ the statement added-  Team@orientactualmags.com
