Civil Societies Hold Impeachment Rally In Osun

Governor Rauf Aregbesola

The Civil Societies Coalition for Emancipation of Osun state (CSCEO) is organizing an impeachment rally against, Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s impeachment with the support of the Osun state indigenes.

Yesterday Monday, July 6, 2015, the group’s Chairman, Comrade Adeniyi Sulaiman Alimi revealed that, over 20 civil faith based societies who are members of CSCEO, are already mobilizing their members towards the mass rally.

The Osun state All Progressives Congress, has called on security agencies to hold the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore and his party responsible for the breach of peace in the state.

According to Vanguard, the party disclosed that “We are therefore certain that the crisis being orchestrated in the state is to get what the people of Osun denied him through a democratic process on August 9, 2014. This was his resolution after the Supreme Court decision which finally sealed his ambition through a pronouncement on May 27, this year”.

Adding that, the APC government under the Aregbesola, have been having fruitful negotiations with the labour congress and can therefore say the labour has no hand in this proposed protest.

In defense, the PDP spokesperson in Osun state, Prince Diran Odeyemi said, PDP has observed with disillusion the allegation by Aregbesola and his paid agents that Omisore and PDP are sponsoring workers to protest unpaid salaries.

He said, “It is unfortunate that the sinking government still be engaging in buck passing when he should be busy looking for money to settle unpaid salaries and allowances of workers. In the last one week, we have not issued any statement because we observe workers are rising to the occasion to fight for their rights. We are not involved as a party, Omisore is not involved and will never be party to any act of lawlessness but we demand from the governor to explain if he has paid these workers”.

Recently, Governor Rauf Aregbesola promised that he will do everything within his power to ensure the state pays outstanding debts and also try as much as possible to avoid re-occurrence.
