The Ondo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] has viewed with concern the controversy surrounding the sack of over 10,000 Local Government Workers and the latest deceit of concocted wage drop from 1.4billion to N900million by the State Government as a charade.

The party also faulted the contentious issue of ”staff auditing” by the state government and the defence of the Commissioner for Information,Kayode Akinmade on the allegation that workers were not being sacked.

A statement issued by its Publicity Secretary,Wale Ozogoro, said the government had sacked over 10,000 people to reduce the staff strength at that level, so as to be able to pay salaries occasioned by the vulgar spending of the government.

The Statement reads, ”Government has continued to deceive the people that the sacked workers were ghosts,the Commissioner said before the staff audit, local governments staff strength was 24,000 but has dropped to 14,000. ”Some people have been servicing corruption by collecting money on behalf of 10,000 non-existing workers. These questions need to be answered;

”How many culprits that were involved in the scandal of collecting the ghost workers’ salaries have been investigated, apprehended and prosecuted by the government?How long will this audit last? ”What of those sacked because they fell below 10 years when they graduated from Primary School. Were they ghost workers took. Why are we are not having development at the local government level?.

”It must be stated unequivocally that the state government is broke and therefore embarked on inflicting excruciating pain on Ondo State Workers”. The PDP said the Commissioner who was economical with the truth, painted a picture of a blossom economy and an unprecedented recovery and therefore seeking relevance.

“It said the party that has continued to maintain a stand that this government has been reckless in the appropriation and use of our common wealth in a manner that is questionable,saying the state government was owing workers (those who were not sacked) up to three month salary and her continued denial is sinister and wicked.

He added ”Ondo State Government has been the sole runner and user of local government funds and has continually. paraded her studies at that level as caretaker chairmen and members as against elected officers, thereby breaching the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

” These culprits called local government caretakers members are at the whims and caprices of Dr. Olusegun Mimiko who controls the finances at will , thereby denying the third tier of government even development. ”Also, local government election has been avoided over the years by this government because of this free fund at her disposal.

” Most painful however, is the latest justification that government is given to her anti people stands rather than appealing to the populace that her frivolities, misplaced priorities, vulgar spending and excruciating debt burden occasioned by her maladministration was responsible for her avowed position to reduce the work force.

” Indeed, the level of falsehood has aggravated to an alarming rate that it has become a recurring decimal while her propaganda machinery continued to manifest falsehood.
