The Ondo State Government has reacted to the allegation made against it on the purported plan to deduct workers’ salaries.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Richard Olatunde said the latest lie from the staple of the PDP is wrapped around an imaginary deduction of workers’ salaries to fund Amotekun
The statement read”As usual, the PDP is famous for twisting facts and disseminating falsehood to mask its dark intentions of hoodwinking the innocent members of the public.
“While we concede to the PDP, it’s right to constantly dive into self-ridicule, it remains the responsibility of Government to continuously alert the public of deliberate falsehood under any” guise.
Setting the record straight, it said the Ondo State Government has no plan of deducting workers’ salaries for any purpose.
Rather, the Akeredolu -led Administration has continued to show commitment and prioritize workers’ welfare in the last five years.
“The allegation of planned salary deduction is imaginary. It is an embarrassing falsehood fabricated by a party whose penchant for lies is legendary.
“The workers in the state through the organized Labour have shown commitment and support for Amotekun. The workers in their wisdom have voluntarily supported the state Security Network “Amotekun” with the donation of 30 motorcycles. The Government was grateful to receive this generous donation.
“The PDP must have a heinous plot with its frequent attack on the progress and successes of the Amotekun corps. One would have expected that matters of security should be cut across the board irrespective of political differences.
“The PDP takes delight in playing politics with the lives of the people. Its endless fabrication of falsehood to halt the success of Amotekun or discourage well-meaning individuals from supporting the security network is mind-boggling.

” For the avoidance of doubt, the Government of Ondo State under the leadership of Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, will continue to prioritize workers’ welfare.
“Members of the public, especially the civil servants are, however, urged to disregard the PDP. There are no plans to deduct workers’ salary and no circular was issued to that effect”. The statement said.
It challenged the PDP to publish or make public any circular on their imaginary deductions as claimed.
