It insisted that Aregbesola has been rule the State as sole administrator without members of the State Executive Council in the last two (2) years of his second term in office, adding that the State government was still owing Ten(10) and eleven(11) months’ salary and pension due arrears to the workers and retirees alike respectively.

According to the group; “It is surprised that the State government under the watch of Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola which its gasping for breeding financially and still owing Ten (10) and eleven (11) months’ salary and pension due arrears to the workers and retirees alike respectively, could still dig his hand into the Ecological funds of the State for sponsoring of Alliance for Democracy (AD) candidate, Mr. Olusola Oke, in the November 2016 Ondo State governorship election with the sum of N2billon.This is high time for the anti-graft agencies, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent

Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

“It is disastrous to have Mr. Rauf Aregbesola as the governor of Osun State in the last six years, the mass of our people have been inflicted with the hunger, miserable diseases, poverty, homelessness, and squalor. The administration had also been laced with corruption, capital flight, groan, tears, and burden of domestic and foreign debt and chronic shortchange of the masses with anti-peoples policies.
