PDP, APC Bicker Over Osun Schools Merger

[Shola Sholaz]

The main opposition party in Osun State, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condemned the merger of schools by the state government under the schools reclassification programme, describing it as an attempt to barstardise the state educational system.
.
The party in a statement by its chairman, Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa on Osogbo, yesterday, said the government of Rauf Aregbesola would through the schools' merger cause confusion and crisis among the school children and communities in the state.
.
But the All Progressives Congress, APC, described the PDP condemnation as lacking in merit, saying that Aregbesola was only clearing the rot created during PDP seven and a half years rule had brought to the state.
.
The APC Director of Publicity and Strategy, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi said the Aregbesola's government would not be detracted from its set programmes to put the state on a sound footing.
