The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC) has dismissed insinuations that its gubernatorial candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, was the architect of half-salary payment during the administration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC, however, named Governor Ademola Adeleke’s advisory consultant on economy and former Finance Commissioner, Wale Bolorunduro, as the architect of the half-salary regime in the state.
In a statement by its Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, on Monday, the Osun APC described Oyebamiji as the Messiah who rescued Osun State and returned the state to the path of full salary payment.
According to the statement, “It would be recalled that Oyebamiji was the Managing Director, Osun State Investment Company Limited, OSICOL throughout the period that the half salary structure lasted and only came in on appointment as the Finance Commissioner to stabilize the state’s economy at the tail end of the Aregbesola government which he successfully carried out by stimulating the finances of the state and returning Osun to the path of full salary payments.
“It is quite unfortunate that the current administration of Governor Adeleke is battling with dementia, having suffered from the myriad of political yokes that have engulfed the entire system. We are not surprised that the Adeleke government has shown clearly its incompetence and gross lack of vision to effectively administer the affairs of Osun State that is made up of sound and discerning minds,” the statement noted.
