Aregbesola Rauf
Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga, has blasted Rauf Aregbesola for saying that the APC’s Renewed Hope agenda is a scam. He recently had his say via his X account, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Noting that Aregbesola’s statement was nothing but a clueless rant by a failed public office holder, Onanuga declared that the ADC member has no moral authority to criticise the Tinubu administration.
He added that Nigerians won’t forget that Rauf’s eight years as Osun State Governor were characterised by unmitigated hardship.
His words, “Unfortunately, Aregbesola did not undertake any honest self-reflection on his own record in public office — as governor or as Minister of Interior.
It is to Aregbesola’s infamy that Osun became known as a state receiving negative federal allocation and paying just 20 to 30 per cent of normal salaries. It was worse for pensioners in Aregbesola’s Osun State.
Many pensioners who relied on their meagre monthly payments died because they were not paid at all.
During his four years, obtaining a Nigerian passport became a nightmarish process, and there were 15 major attacks on correctional facilities in Jos, Abolongo, Imo, Kabba, and Okitipupa, resulting in over 4,000 inmates escaping to join criminal elements.
For someone who failed so woefully to secure our correctional centres and uphold his duties between 2019 and 2023, it is ironic that Aregbesola now seeks to lecture others on insecurity. Maybe he thinks the entire Nigerian population suffers from amnesia.
The Tinubu administration has never shied away from acknowledging that policy reforms have brought unintended consequences, impacting the most vulnerable.
However, over the last three years, the government has introduced numerous relief measures to mitigate these effects.
No, Rauf, the Renewed Hope Agenda is not a scam. The real scammers are the politicians gathered inside the SPV called ADC.”
WOW.
