The spokesperson for the PDP in Osun State, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, made the allegation in a statement in Osogbo on Monday.
The statement partly read, “Only paper work was completed last week. But since the arrival of the money exactly 14 days ago, Mr. Aregbesola in his usual ‘I don’t care nature’ instead of commencing payments of workers dues, lodged the N35bn given to the state.
“According to our findings, the bank that agreed to give Mr. Aregbesola the biggest interest running into several millions of naira was given the money to fix.
“The governor is buying time, for over two weeks now, he had been hiding behind staff screening to fish out ghost workers and the exercise is designed to last for another eight weeks. “
The PDP said the party was concerned by the suffering the workers and pensioners were going through due to the delay in payment of their salaries and pensions.
But the governor described the allegation as unfounded and another lie from the PDP’s factory.
Speaking through his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, the governor said the PDP fabricated the date it claimed the fund was received even when the CBN said the money was released last week.
The governor challenged the opposition party to produce the proof of the purported fixed deposit transaction to authenticate it claims.
