Former Oyo State governor and candidate of the Accord Party in the last governorship election
in the state, Alhaji Rashidi Ladoja, has declared that Oyo State has no business defaulting in
the payment of workers’ salaries if not for the misplaced priorities of the state governor,
Abiola Ajimobi.
Ladoja, who stated this yesterday while fielding questions from newsmen in his Bodija,
Ibadan residence after the Eid-el-Kabir prayer at the Agodi Eid-praying ground in Ibadan,
stressed that , “the Oyo State government should not be owing workers salaries if not
because of misplaced of priority.”
He claimed that, “My administration left N13bn when I left the government, the state should
not be owing workers’ salaries, but due to mismanagement, workers are suffering today in
the state and this is also because what Senator Ibikunle Amosun in Ogun State did for N1.00,
Ajimobi in Oyo State did same for N5.00.
“Apart from this, Ajimobi said he was establishing Technical University, promised five star
hotel, used tax payers money to plant flowers, but as I’m talking, he has failed to fulfil his
promises, so, misplaced priority is what is causing workers their salary in Oyo State today,”
the former governor asserted.
Ladoja went on to advise President Muhammadu Buhari to be more focused and concentrate
on governance than fighting corruption on the pages of newspapers, stressing that the
situation in the country is becoming worrisome on daily basis if one should consider the
increase in the rate of unemployment.
“The rate of kidnapping is increasing in the country due to lack of jobs for millions of youths
that graduated from the Nigerian’ higher institutions. I read from the newspapers that
President Buhari had directed the Inspector General of Police to produce Chief Olu Falae
kidnapped about five days ago, I don’t know whether he had complied, we are not in the
military era and I don’t believe that giving such an order is necessary,” he stated
