Almighty God to rescue the State from the hands of present tormentors

this medium and put the records straight, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola are
still owing workers and retirees alike in the State for period of

in question. This development is contrary to Mr. Rauf Aregbesola’s
claimed before the public that the State under his watch has been meet
