Pensioners in Odin State on Wednesday urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to invite Governor Rauf Aregbesola over a petition submitted to the EFCC by a group called Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State against him.
Addressing newsmen on behalf of the group in Osogbo, the Chairman, Forum of 2011/2012 Retired Public Servants of Osun State, Comrade Omoniyi Ilesanmi, said they submitted the petition at the Ibadan Zonal office of the anti-graft agency in 2016.
According to him, Aregbesola should be invited by the commission as soon as he leaves office.
Ilesanmi explained that the petition contained details of how funds belonging to the 30 local government areas and Modakeke Area Council were allegedly misappropriated. He said the EFCC, after receiving the petition, invited some government officials.
He added that outgoing Aregbesola administration was owing retirees and workers for 17 months.
He said, “As of the time of this press conference, despite Aregbesola’s constant promise that he will not owe anybody by the time he leaves office, today he is owing pensioners and workers for 17 months.”
