The Osun State Government and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) are at odds over the state’s 2024 budget. The APM claims that Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration has made N134 billion in excess of its N273 billion budget, and is demanding transparency in the government’s dealings .
According to the APM’s Chairman, Hon. Adewale Adebayo, the state government needs to account for the surplus. However, it’s worth noting that the Osun State Government has not publicly responded to these allegations.
To put this into perspective, the 2024 budget was designed to focus on infrastructural development, with a total budget size of N273.9 billion, comprising recurrent and capital expenditure . The budget allocated N57.2 billion for infrastructural development, aiming to bridge the state’s infrastructure gap.
The disagreement between the APM and the Osun State Government highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the state’s financial management.
