Osun State government yesterday described the alleged set up of an
Internally Displaced Person (IDP) camp by some pensioners in Osun State
as mischievous and another propaganda against the administration of
Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
The government in a statement by the Bureau of Communication and
Strategy, which was signed by its Director, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, said if
indeed, any camp was set up, it could not be for demand for payment of
any pensions.
The Bureau stated, “Our attention has been drawn to a sensational
display of photograph of some persons who claim to be pensioners in Osun
who have dubiously grouped themselves “Internally Displaced Pensioners”
and claimed to have set up an “IDP” camp in the state capital, Osogbo.
“To us, this is taking the joke too far. There should be limit to
campaigns of calumny and deliberate fabrications of emotive conditions
all in desperation to diminish the achievements of a government.
“It was common knowledge that the State of Osun ended the Year 2016
in the most financially boisterous mood ever with the payment of four
months salaries to active workers and pensions to the passive workers.”
