Osun govt warns troublemakers
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state has warned miscreants and troublemakers to stay away from the state saying that the authorities are alive to their responsibilities to ensure peace, protection of live and property.
He said his administration had got wind of alleged plan by some individuals and groups to use the prevailing situation to cause unrest and hamper the existing relative peace in the state.
The governor’s warning came following a meeting by the state security council last Friday where far reaching decisions on Security were taken.
The meeting might not be unconnected with a threat by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party {PDP} that there might be serious security challenge if the state government did not pay salaries within seven days.
The PDP in statement by his Director of Media and Strategy, Prince Diran Odeyemi had noted that the June ending deadline for payment of salaries set by the governor had raised tension rather than attempting to solve the problem.
The party said, “from all indications, the June 30 deadline for the payment of salaries by Aregbesola rather than solving the problem, is heightening tension among residents” A statement by the Director, Bureau of Communications and Strategy Office of the Governor, Semiu Okanlawon quoting resolutions at the security meeting warned that the state government “will bring all means at its disposal to deter criminals and outlaws who may want to threaten the peace of the state”

Nobody should hide under the cover of the unpaid salaries of workers to cause problem in the state. We , workers in the state are law abiding and no miscreant should soil the image of the descent civil servants. And those that are trying to heat the politics should have a re-think and desist from such evil act. GOD BLESS OSUN STATE AND THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. OSUN SI MAA DARA JU BAYI LO.
Abracadabra propaganda congress (APC) here we go again with another dooms day announcement.
We will review and take appropriate action.
