Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hailed the Osun State House of Assembly for considering a petition by Justice Folahanmi Oloyede, who wants impeachment proceedings against Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The commendations was contained in a press statement made available by Osun State’s PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. Bola Ajao.
The statement read, “We want to commend the lawmakers for commencing the process of impeaching Governor Aregbesola in order to save the state.
“For us as a political party, our concern is beyond playing the traditional role of opposition party. It is about the people of Osun State. It is about men and women who are supposedly gainfully-employed but are now refugees in their own land, living on handouts from compassionate religious and corporate bodies.
“It is about the present and future of the state. It is about generations unborn and questions that would be asked us if we don’t act collectively now”.
Aregbesola has been unsettled over his inability to ensure the payment of salaries to workers in the state for the past eight months, a development that has created a crisis of confidence in his ability and capacity as governor of the state.
Recall that he had early in the month promised that the workers will be paid by the end of this month but with three days to the end of June, there appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel yet.
