By Ismail Azeez, Osogbo
Osun State Government has said Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration values and respects the contributions of all workers in the state, saying recognized bodies for workers in Osun enjoy cordial a relationship with the administration.
The government, in a statement signed on Monday by the
Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, said that Adeleke’s administration is using every available opportunity in appreciating workers’ service by prioritising their welfare.
The statement read, “The attention of the Osun State Government has been drawn to a ludicrous claim of workers discontent with the State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke.
“We believe the concoction, which has the fitting of the distraught opposition, was pushed through a non-existent labour body, promoting false information against the government.
“It is worth pointing out for the public enlightenment that the only known and recognised body for workers in Osun state and by extension Nigeria as a whole are the NLC, TUC and JNC, all of which enjoy cordial relationship with the administration of Governor Adeleke.
“We want to affirm that, after carrying out due investigation, that the so-called Osun Workers Union (OWU) is a fictitious group, that mischievously exists only on paper with the sole objective of misleading the public, most especially, our loving, diligent and dedicated workers whose love and solidarity for Adeleke led government can not be overemphasised .
“To set the record straight, the supplementary budget sponsored by Governor Adeleke was to fund meaningful projects across sectors of the state. It is only in the realm of the empty and unsavory imagination of the cheap opposition members and blackmailers that Governor Adeleke allocated N10bn to his office. We are quick to say that no such thing exists in reality.
“It is against every sense of reasonability that Governor Adeleke who forfeited security votes to free more money for the benefit of Osun people will vote N10 billion for his office. But it is obvious that those behind the latest round of lies are beyond reasoning, otherwise, they would have realized the emptiness of their thinking which is nothing but a mere political propaganda and balderdash taken too far.
“The Adeleke administration values and respects the contributions of all workers in Osun state and uses every available opportunity in appreciating their service by prioritising their welfare.
“To buttress its position in this regard, the present worker-friendly administration of His Excellency, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has initiated numerous measures to enhance workers working conditions in addition to ensuring fair compensation,aimed at passionately addressing the evolving needs of its existing workforce,” It added.
