OsunDecides2018: State Govt Disburses OYES Training Allowance On Election Day

In another turn of event in the ongoing gubernatorial election in Osun state, the state government has reportedly paid training allowance to the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme popularly called OYES in the state. In a tweet by the PDP official twitter handle, they claim that such an act is “illegal and unacceptable”

The payment has generated lots of controversies among the people of the state as some claimed it is an inducement by the ruling party to gain the favour of the state workers.  Below is a reaction by the official PDP twitter handle:
