In a statement signed by the party’s Director of Media and Strategy, Diran Odeyemi, the party accused Aregbesola of placing Osun workers under stringent conditions, before they could be paid their arrears.
“Aregbesola who recently ordered the screening of workers, commanded them to produce originals of their birth certificate and original primary school leaving certificates, insisting that sworn affidavit or declaration will not be accepted before they can be paid.

“This is not fair, and it is absurd, it is wickedness especially at this time that when Ramadan is near, Aregbesola’s ‘one-man riot squad’ government should be condemned by Nigerians.
“We believe that the governor is only buying time having fixed the money in a bank so as to yield interest for his personal benefit.”
While condemning the ongoing workers screening exercise embarked upon by the governor, PDP asked: “Why this time that the CBN released the bailout funds without asking for primary school leaving certificate of workers that the governor deemed it fit to screen workers and what purpose is this exercise other than to buy time for the money to yield interest and also retrench workers.
“Having spent over N500 million for biometric screening of the state workforce in 2013 which led to a monthly payment of N50 million to a Lagos based consultant to undertake direct payment of workers salaries since then, we wonder why another screening is being done in 2015 by another Lagos based consultant. All these are the reasons why Osun State is in depth and could not perform,” the party concluded.
