The immediate past National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Iyiola Omisore, has said that President Bola Tinubu is to blame on the lingering crisis of withheld local government funds in Osun State.
Omisore absolved Tinubu on Monday, while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television.
He stated that the issue had nothing to do with the president and should not be politicised, stressing that the problem was between the state government and the local government workers.
“This thing is not concerned with the general election. It’s not concerned with the president at all. It has to do with local government and the state.
“So don’t blame the president…And don’t blame the APC. Put your blame on the PDP who has not allowed them to work or who abducted the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE,” he said.
The APC chieftain further explained that the main issue affecting Osun State was the seven-month strike by members of NULGE, which had paralysed operations across all councils in the state.
