The All Progressives Congress in Osun State on Wednesday accused the Federal Government of impeding the development plans of the state government by reducing the states federal allocation.

In a statement signed by the partys Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy , Kunle Oyatomi, the APC said Osun State is being made to suffer because the state stood up to the Federal Governments tyranny and voted against the PDP in the last August 9 governorship election.

The party said, The last federal allocation paid to Osun State was the least in the whole of the federation and was less than a third of what the state used to receive in the first half of 2014. Between June and October, this year, the federal allocation paid to Osun fell from over N3.8bn to less than N1.3bn. But the states salary profile alone is N3.6bn every month.

The Federal Government has not offered any plausible explanation for this drastic drop, leaving room for reasonable speculation that the PDP is taking its pound of flesh in reprisal for the defeat it suffered at the August 9 governorship election in the State of Osun.

In this season, when people are celebrating the great advent of Jesus of Nazareth, the Federal Government, led by a so-called Christian, is entertaining himself with the agony of Nigerians who are miserably suffering under the massive corruption of the PDP that has left our economy comatose.

The APC called on the citizens of the state to exercise courage, fortitude and perseverance as they celebrate the Christmas festival.

The party added, There is hope that divine change will occur to end this needless suffering that is sweeping across Nigeria under the PDP-led Federal Governments utter mismanagement of the countrys finances.

No matter the economic terrorism of the Federal Government and the PDP, the people of Osun shall remain unbowed to the evil economic might of the PDP-led Federal Government, which they are currently using to strangulate workers in the State of Osun.

The party, therefore, encouraged the people of Osun to take heart and be joyful nonetheless for as the birth of Jesus brought hope to mankind, so will the defeat of the PDP in next years elections usher in a new era of progress and efficient management of the countrys economy.
