Edo State governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari came into office when the country was unable to pay workers’ salaries. Although no Federal worker was owed under the last administration, this making Oshoimhole's claim hard to believe. He made this known in Abuja, while commissioning the N1.3 billion Medical and Health Workers' Union of Nigeria complex. The Edo State governor, while lamenting the deteriorating status of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), noted that the congress lost some grounds over the last couple of years. According to him, “you (NLC president) inherited an NLC that has lost a lot of public goodwill, just as President Buhari inherited a country which, at a point, cannot even afford to pay salaries.” He further noted that even when oil was sold at $ 140 per barrel, which later dropped to $108 per barrel, some states were still unable to pay workers salaries. His words: “With oil selling at $140 per barrel down to an average of $108 per barrel, just a little shock in oil price, almost 50 per cent of the states could not pay salaries. That is the kind of economy President Buhari inherited. Oshiomhole, however, expressed optimism that with the cooperation and support of the organised labour, President Buhari would bail Nigeria out, making it a country that would provide comfort for its citizens. The complex, located at Durumi in Abuja, was named after the current NLC president and also the immediate past president of the Medical and Health Workers' Union of Nigeria, Comrade Ayuba Wabba. Speaking on the occasion, the president of NLC, Comrade Wabba, noted that the structure was built solely by the union without levying its members. Comrade Wabba, who was the initiator of the project, further stated that the union did not get support from the government directly or indirectly to erect the structure.

Yeah, we kinda already knew that.

Did the past administation owe a dime to any Federal parastatal before its handover?

This man needs to be cross checked mentaly cos the love charm from cape verde seems stronger than presumed.


Keep on fooling urself on media all in the name of been outspoken.


Ur inlaws are probably watching one silly phillipine movies and are not interested in ur predicaments other than Bank alert.


Minister of Unverified information


Yeye man wey dump khaki for Blazers.. If i were opportuned, a dirty slap from me will restore u to default settings. Vagabond!

Always trying to appear relevant, why don't you face your duties in Edo and let Nigerians have peace. In all the years Jonathan was president he never denied any state its monthly allocation and he never owed federal civil servants. State governments all got their allocations every month and so it's incumbent on Oshiomole to tell Nigerians why his colleauges like Aregbesola and Suswan couldn't pay their workers even when their allocations was regular.
There are states both PDP and APC controlled that were faithful to the payment of workers salaries even in the shortfall in revenue, so why did Aregbe and his brother in crime Suswan fail to pay, Oshiomole you are closer to them than we are, can you explain?

With all due respect mr adam, I find it hard to believe that u were once a labour president. The way u even reason I swear....

Osho mole, unverified information minister. Keep fooling yourself in Abuja while APC is fast losing Edo state to opposition.

Even with the $75m election loan, you will surely hand over to opposition so that you will know how painful it feels taking over Amechi's position, leaving in a glass house yet you love throwing stones.
In Edo state, deceit is the order of the day, nothing is working since the beginning of your second tenure. Edo state is now a shadow of your first tenure. May be you were able to window dress because "Thief" Lucky Igbinedion gave you the opportunity to shine.

Please fellow Nigerians, l think alternating political parties will help us check our political office holders excesses, lies and election promises/manifestos denials.

Long live Edo state
Long live Nigeria
Oba atokpae.

That was because the governor's stole the money meant for salaries. these include Oshiomhole himself. Barao

S ok

APC liars men!

Wasn't salaries being paid before Buhari came in?
Where did Buhari get the $2 billion dollars he shared amongst some rogue APC governors calling it 'bail out funds'
Smh!

We need to interrogate the parents of Iara Oshiomole.
Wallahi am sure we would get the loveportion doing this MAD job on Adams OshiO!

Lying is in their DNA!! APC
