Story from Kenneth AFOR, Lagos
Some members spearheading the #EndSARS movement in Osun State have issued a Seven-day ultimatum to Gboyega Oyetola, Osun State Governor, to increase workers’ salaries and allowance, failure to do so, the governor should resign.
This was conveyed in a statement signed yesterday by the group’s Spokesperson, Olawale Bakare and Mobilisation Secretary, Olushayo Ogunleye,
The movement, also rejected the recent increase in salaries announced by the state government demanding a review, adding that only five percent increase was effected on the basic salaries of workers.
“This height of hypocrisy owing to the recent fraudulent five per cent increase in the basic salary of workers from level 7 and beyond (sic). By implication, the workers being paid the paltry sum of N15,000 will now have just N750 added to their basic salary. This is sadly what Mr Governor wants to be worshipped for.
“We hereby reject this fraudulent and enslaving mode of payment, and demand an increased review of the salaries and allowances of Osun State workers, within the next seven working days.
“Failure to address the aforementioned demands within seven working days, Mr Governor Gboyega Oyetola should resign and allow a more competent and humane leader to govern the state,” the statement read.
Also, the movement have called on the governor to give the sum of N10 million each to the families of the two people killed during the #EndSARS protest.
