It is extremely painful that I cannot pay salaries - Aregbesola

The governor of Osun state, Rauf Aregbesola has expressed his sadness and pain over his inability to pay his workers their monthly salaries for about seven months now.

While delivering a Ramadan Lecture at the Women Development Centre, Abuja yesterday June 22nd, Aregbesola said his administration borrowed N25billion from banks to support the federal allocations to pay salaries but that the banks have since stopped lending the state money.


"It is extremely painful that I cannot pay salary. It is painful that I have to be in this condition. I am not helpless because I have Allah and the people with me. And whoever has Allah and the people has everything. I didn’t envisage that 400,000 barrels of crude oil would be stolen daily. But the whipping boys must be the governors and I am the ‘Chief’ of the whipping boys,” he said.
He added that the state’s wage bill was N3.5 billion monthly and that his administration has found it difficult to pay due to the dwindling allocation in spite of increase in the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from N900 million to N8 billion annually.

Shut up your mouth"Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola"!!! You can't pay workers in your state salaries for about 7 months now,but you can afford to buy a "Chopper" for d state so called "Surveillance" worth "Billions of Naira" and have it parked in Lagos for your own "Personal Use". This is an insider gist from peeps that know and work with you!!!.... #Asshole

Unknown said...

Fuck off, after stealing the money, u want us to be sympathetic to u. Why don't u use ur salary and pay them, or tale from the one u have stolen and pay them. Shameless pple

but your son was caught with millions at the airport. my friend who works there says it was true. stupid he goat

Unknown said...

I read a comment from Ogbeni "I am unable to pay salaries because banks have refused to borrow me money".
If Ogbeni were to be an MD of a company, I bet you the BODs would vote for his resignation. This same man embarked on programs he had no resources to sustain, cajoled the people to believing he had a master plan and BOOM, it all implodes on his face.

Rauf Aregbesola, please tender your resignation. That will be the most honourable act done by you and the sham of a government you claim to boss.

How in the world wud you be owing 6 whole months salary.? Pure wickedness n failure on his part.. Rubbish

You did not envisage what?What happens to foresight? A good leader is suppose to anticipate both the good and bad with plan B readily available to salvage the situation. You couldn't pay workers their salary for 7months but I'm sure yours comes every month.And he has the guts to call Allah into something not worthy of .mtcheew

They should cut down on overhead. and also reduce aides. cost cant be more than revenue

abujakenneth said...

Then resign. It is only in this clime that we have people like you still in the office. You cannot pay your workers for 8 months but you pay yourself and godfather.

Unknown said...

I don't understand the need for states that depend almost entirely on federal allocation to exist. They just there, any slight cut in their monthly allocation, they will cease to function

Anonymous said...

you (and the likes of Amaechi) were unable to pay civil servants because of misplaced priorities and poor planning.

Its like a mother constantly buying different pairs expensive gold ear rings and trinkets when her children's school fees are yet to be paid and she knows her husband is down financially.

you mortgaged people's salaries on the altar of 'projects' and political patronage, that's all.

My friend if you are not competent enough resign and stop suffering innocent workers. I believe you have been collecting your own salary and living lavishly, while your workers are suffering.

This clueless governor better resign. I think it's time he get rid of those cow beards on his face, it's making him reason like a cow. What has he been doing with the allocation he has been receiving? Drinking and chasing women I guess, while workers are suffering.

So what are the people depending on you supposed to do?! Don't just annoy me Aregbesola! Aren't you receiving your own money?! WTH is this pity party?!

TO OUR 'SHOKi' GOVERNOR

Governor Rauf 'Onirungbon', please resign
Your self-centredness is of great concern
The 8months salary you've refused to pay
Will surely haunt you all the way.

During campaign, you were busy dancing 'shoki'
Leaving your workers with no choice but to choke
Osun people, with their votes, made your 'bed'
Not knowing it is for a goat with a beard

Do the needful now and save APC this shameful case
Lest they give you a hot chase!

Sob story from those in positions of power in Nigeria,if it there children that want to wed now they can spend millions on venues alone.These people should get grip of their job or resign.For more than three years OBJ denied Lagos money during Tinubu administration yet he survived,some of this governors are just bereft of ideas .Because there is always a way when there is a will.

How about slashing or forfeiting your salary? Greedy and stingy attention seeking cray fellow.

Anonymous said...

I believe people would now understand the tricks these stupid governors including Fashola play by blaming Jonathan for everything they do wrong, at a point in time people even forgot that State government exists, they all played deaf, dumb and even blind to what was happening in states but blamed GEJ for everything, now the scales have dropped from their eyes and they can see clearly that these state governors are criminals who live large at the expense of the masses. I wish the people would also realise that they have the power to remove anybody who's not performing well even while on seat without stupid sentiments or religious foolishness.

Aregbeshola, Rotimi Amaechi, Fashola, Rochas etc are all criminals!!!!
