The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has said Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State owes pensioners in the state no less than 15 months unpaid pensions.

The representative of Joe Ajaero, President of NLC, Uche Ekwe, in Birnin Kebbi, disclosed this during the Kebbi State NLC delegates’ conference yesterday in Birnin Kebbi.
Ekwe lamented that despite the political statements from Wike and his activities, he had subjected pensioners in Rivers State to untold hardship with no fewer than 15 months of unpaid pensions including a backlog of gratuities.

According to him, “Wike is not the only governor in Nigeria suffocating civil servants. What is happening in Abia State is alarming and worrisome. Also in Imo State, Hope Uzodinma is also refusing to pay workers salaries promptly and denying retirees their gratuities.”

Ekwe, while delivering NLC President’s message, said “We were ordered by Ajaero to tell workers to interface with political candidates in every state in the federation to ensure civil servants vote workers-friendly candidates who would meet their demands.”

He thanked Governor Bagudu for clearing all arrears of gratuities in Kebbi State and for choosing one of the labour leaders to succeed him in person of Dr Nasir Idris, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Ekwe called on workers to come out en masse to vote for Idris because he knows the problems of workers in Kebbi State having taught in primary school and rose to become the president of Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT.

At the end of the conference, Murtala Usman, was elected new NLC chairman in Kebbi State alongside eight executive members.

I don't know just which planet this Wike comes from. Him and the founder of agberos in Nigeria and drug landlord of Africa has the same agberosim and toutism spirit.

Wike has cornered Rivers money for political and personal purposes. I know he will claim he used all the money to do projects, but soon Nigerians will start seeing that these projects carried out by Nigerian politicians are, in some cases, over 10x bloated. Nigeria could be about 10000 times better than it is with the resources the country has seen so far also considering it's positive ripple effects.

Wike the reckless spender only knows how to spend for selfish reason as poor pensioners languish in poverty.
It's a pity the type of heartless individuals running the affairs of this over rapped nation.

The loudmouthed idiot is going into his political golgotha in few days.

He has made plenty enemies waiting to swallow him.

Wike running the worst govt in Rivers ,no payment of pensioners, lack of vision and investment ,massive unemployment ,no youth empower ,squandering of state fund etc

He told his puppets to save his political carrear, but he doesn't care anything about theirs. Well, he knows where to get his dumb followers.
