I have watched about two episodes of journalist hangout and wish to make the following clarifications.(1) Kolade-otitoju might have traveled to osun state to do some research about the state and governance, he should accept the fact that you can not know the house as the house owner. There are many things wrong with the system run by the governor. Be reminded that he was the chief of staff for eight years under Aregbesola and he was the architect of the modulated salary structure. This is known to the workers. (2) award of contract at inflated cost, e g, the renovation of primary health centers, each at #30m, just renovation without equipments. This was done about two years ago. You can still come to the state for verification. (3) most of the state township roads are in very deplorable state, except of course, Iragbiji. I heard Kolade-otitoju saying he toured Alekuwodo in Osogbo and was impressed. I now invite him to come to the state and undertake to tour towns like Ilesa, Ife, Iwo, Ede, Ikire, Ikirun and Ila, to see things for yourself.(4) finaly, I retired as a director in 2018 under the contributory pension scheme and up till the time of writing this email, I have not received a dime either in terms of pension or arrears of the 30 months modulated salary. We have some retirees who left the service under the contributory pension scheme as far back as 2016 who haven’t received anything. Please let me add the issue of nepotism leveled against the governor by the politicians in APC. Try to cross-check.
