Oyo Lawmaker On Strike Over Unpaid Allowance by wisino1(m): 7:30am On Nov 27, 2015 |
The 32-member Oyo State House of
Assembly has suspended legislative duties
until the state government pays the
accumulated allowances owed the
lawmakers.
According to information gathered, the
government is owing the lawmakers
furniture, car allowances and two months
running cost for the legislative arm.
Due to the strike, the sitting that had earlier
been scheduled for yesterday was put on
hold.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, one of
the aggrieved lawmakers said, that despite
the cash crunch being experienced in the
country, some state governors still manage
to settle their lawmakers wondering why
they should be the only ones suffering in
the whole of the South West.
“We understand that the crash in the price
of crude oil has brought the economy to its
knees. The consequent drop in revenue
affects all the 36 states as well as the
Federal Government. But in spite of this
dire situation, all other governors have
sorted out the allowances of their state
houses of assembly. Throughout the
country, only those of us who are
lawmakers in Oyo State are left
languishing.
“During the last Assembly, in Governor
Ajimobi’s first term, cars were bought for
all the lawmakers. They were also paid
furniture allowances. The running cost of
the House was also paid regularly. These
allowances are statutory,” he said.
He also hinted that the House did not sit
last week as a result of the accrued
allowances.
“Last week, we boycotted sitting to protest
lack of concern for our welfare. Without the
running cost, the Assembly cannot
function. The running cost for the office of
the governor is paid regularly. Why is the
House left out?” the lawmaker said. |

Why is the House left out?” the lawmaker said. Serves them right...Ajimobi na high thief, vote Ladoja, dem nor wan hear He's throwing wedding parties around the globe while he couldn't even pay salaries. Shouting for 3rd bail-out when there's no tangible thing he did with the previously-given ones. Saw the breakdown of Sept. Allocation. The way this Ajimobi guy complains, you'll think the money Oyo state gets is less than a billion... For a Governor that combines LGs' allocation with State's. 1 Like |
