Support Aregbesola by paying taxes, PDP tells Osun residents

The Peoples Democratic Party has urged residents of Osun State to cooperate with Governor Rauf Aregbesola by paying lawful taxes to the government to ensure development of the state.

The leadership of the PDP in Osun Central Senatorial District, said this in a communique made available to our correspondent in Osogbo after the senatorial meeting of the party. 

The Chairman of PDP in Osun Central Senatorial District, Mr. Bunmi Jenyo, who read the communique to journalists, however, warned  the state government against  introducing what he called butchery taxes.

He stated that the state government had no justification to introduce new taxes because the governor had not taken care of the welfare of the people of the state and should not bother them with unjustifiable taxes. 

The communique read, “People of this state should henceforth cooperate with Governor Aregbesola on payment of lawful taxes.

“The governor of Osun State should be more honest and dedicated to the service of Osun than his personal one.” 

The opposition party said things were not going on well in the state and every stakeholder in the state must come together irrespective of party affiliations.

A leader of the party, Senator Olu Alabi, said the All Progressives Congress administration in the state ought not to have demolished houses when they did not intend to construct roads they promised.

He said, “Let us prioritise these things. Why demolishing  houses  when they did not have the intention of constructing any road.

“Anybody who moves round Osogbo will think the town just survived a civil war. The houses, especially those along the road, look like those in war ravaged towns.”
