The statement signed by the governor's spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said the current administration in the state has not and would not demote workers or introduce half salary.
“The bond of partnership between this administration and the workers was further cemented at the May 1st workers day celebration where labour leaders praised the extraordinary commitment of Governor Adeleke to workers’ welfare. The May Day event also saw confirmation by all stakeholders that Governor Adeleke was the first Governor in Osun state to have workers’ welfare as the first item on his governance agenda.
“Members of the public and the labour movement also acknowledged that the present administration has been clearing the mess and the evil fallouts of years of maladministration by the APC in Osun state. Part of that acclaimed step is the template adopted to clear years of half salary and pensions owed Osun workers.”
Meanwhile, the Osun All Progressives Congress spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, was yet to respond to the allegations as of the time of filing this report, even as a copy of the statement was sent to him.All rights reserved.
