Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has explained reason why he
has not constituted
his cabinet two years on, saying doing so would put
serious financial strain on his administration.
The governor, who stated this while hosting journalists across the
state to a get-together fast-breaking dinner tagged “Iftar with Ogbeni”
at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Osogbo, said he would
rather concentrate his effort on management of the state economy instead
of putting up a cabinet that would further place heavy financial burden
on people of the state.
He said he was being careful to form a cabinet to assist him in
governance because, according to him, doing so would cost the state
about N100 million monthly with salary of the 26 members of the state
House of Assembly.
Aregbesola said
his administration would not be deterred in its resolve to take the
state to an enviable height despite alleged myriad of sponsored media
attacks on his person and government.
The governor, who re-affirmed his commitment towards the successful
completion of all the initiated capital projects across the state,
promised to continue on the template of good governance and pro-masses
policies, saying: “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.”
He, therefore, called on the people of the state to support the
government by faithfully carrying out their civic responsibilities
through regular and prompt payment of their taxes.
