The Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Ruaf Aregbesola, has not taken kindly the proposal of Mr Ben Murray Bruce of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr Bruce, a senator representing Bayelsa East, had proposed to donate his wardrobe allowance to the unpaid workers in Osun State and widows in his community at Akasa, Bayelsa State.

 Ogbeni Aregbesola, through the state spokesperson, Mr Semiu Okanlawon, accused the lawmaker of playing to the gallery and engaging in self-serving philanthropy.

The governor, however, took this as a challenge and promised to pay the workers the outstanding seven months salaries before the end of the month.
