Worried by the level of destructive criticism of the opposition against Governor Rauf Aregbesola administration, the Speaker, State of Osun House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Najeem Salaam, has challenged the youths to demand for the blueprint of those who are clamouring to upstage All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Salaam, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Goke Butika, while addressing Ejigbo APC youth forum, said those who have an axe to grind with Aregbesola administration should offer credible alternative with detailed explanation on how to fund their pipe dreams, saying devil was in the detail.
He hinged on the fact that since the establishment of Osun as a state, the only time when development was conspicuously offered is now, saying that it would be a very costly mistake for the people to think that the state would be pushed back to the aisle of the opposition after it has aligned with the center and some of his programs were copied for replication by the federal government and some states, PDP states inclusive.
The Speaker asserted that it was very challenging owing workers and pensioners any part of their dues, as it is happening in not less than 28 states out of 36 in the nation; arguing that using a national challenge to crucify a state like Osun that has not sacked a single worker upon the tough economic meltdown would be a great electoral mistake.
He said, “it is a recent history that the opposition which is currently badmouthing Aregbesola administration had once ruled Osun and Nigeria, and the legacy was corruption, impunity and underdevelopment, where very few politicians were sharing money meant for developmental projects, and now that APC has taken the bull by the horn in fixing the country, particularly State of Osun, it would be a backward trend to return those who once plundered the resources of this country”.
He further urged the people of the state not to succumb to the deception of the opposition in Osun, asking them to demand better economic blueprint from the opposition and how funds would be sourced if they find power; asserting that they have no credible answers to the economic meltdown but were only thirsty to return to power to exploit the people and continue with their known tradition of corruption and impunity.
