Osun state governor Governor Rauf Aregbesola
Osun governor, Rauf Aregbesola has come under heavy fire from the main opposition party in Osun state, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following the creation of creation of additional 31 new local council development areas, (LCDA) in the state.
Osun has not paid its worker for months with the governor consistently blaming the administration of Goodluck Jonathan for his inability to pay salary.
PDP roundly condemned the action arguing that creation of additional local governments in any guise in the time of very serious economic crises was not auspicious.
The PDP argued further that the introduction of a parliamentary system of government at the grassroots level when the nation is currently operating the presidential system at both the national and state levels would further lead to confusion.
The party in a statement issued by Prince Diran Odeyemi, its spokesperson, said since coming on board, Governor Aregbesola has bewildered many with his actions to the extent that “Mr. Governor will, without contest, be given top prize as the “most confused governor in Nigeria.”

Odeyemi said the creation of additional 31 LCDAs when the existing 30 local government areas are unable to pay workers salaries let alone embark on any developmental projects in the last five years of being in office is evidence that “our governor is confused and bereft of ideas.”
He added: “it is not hidden Mr. Aregbesola is controversy personified and infusing such clumsiness into the governance of the state that Osun, once a pride among states in the country is now a laughing stock among others will forever be counted against the governor.
“Why must Osun copy Lagos for everything? This same Ogbeni Aregbesola introduced and renamed Osun State to State of Osun, wasted scarce resources of the state to plant flowers from Asejire to Owena, cruise around in helicopter because Fashola has one, created series of “Os” from “O Yes- to O No”, what a funny and confused Governor.

“The same governor introduced same uniform in all schools in Osun and separated the state from the National Education system to his own special one which led to mass failure in WAEC exam.”
“We call on Gov Aregbesola to stop creating more problems for the people of Osun and resign if he has nothing to offer the people of the state.”
