Just imagine the senseless statement up there

Lubbish! How dare he request that civil servants should waive their outstanding salaries

What a country we live in - Politicians are heartless indeed

EFCC, Mr Mimiko and Rotimi Akeredolu needs some explaining to do

“We have said this many times, we must be prepared to pay sacrifices because we don’t borrow money to pay salaries. If they (workers) meet and say they waive two months, we will be glad, but if they insist on having the full arrears, we will look for ways of paying,” Mr. Akeredolu said.

“I will have to address the workers to let them know that it’s not possible to use all our money to pay salaries,” he added.

This is one of the most stupidest post I've ever read in my life.

Wait a minute, someone borrows money to feed himself, his family, and meet up with his social and religious responsibilities only to be told to waive his salary because of what?

How many government officials have waived their salary or don't they know that one percent of their sacrifice will fix the whole country?

This is not just stupid but it is also an insult on the intelligence of these hardworking individuals.

Pathetic and painful indeed!

Meanwhile during his campaign he promised to pay the debt. Useless politicians...

Na until politicians begin dey use us do suya before we go talk? As if embezzling our commonwealth is not enough, this governor wants workers to wave their hard earned salary. Oga, are you ok?

Is this a joke?

Hm. Mr. Governor

i have said it before over and over again..but the dundees called the masses rather engage themselves in aimless/fruithless wars..this polithievcians are all the same...if he had the state in mind with all the fight he had to become the gov.one would have expected him to do his homework before promising heaven and earth..why dont he mortgage his own salary4 the next 4years and thatof his numerous aides..afterall charity begins at homeondo is supposed to be part of the oil producing states oooo...smh

Wait a minute.... Is it that I didn't understand what I just read? Waive salary, as in forget and forfeit their hard earned effort and sweat??

Oga, e for better make u and ur team forfit ur own salary for the next 8yrs way una won do dey take am do better things for Ondo nah.

Is that really possible?
this is a wacko govt
The apshit govt is a govt of impossibilities.

Who be this imbicile talking trash here? I'm sure he can't truly be a governor. How much is he willing to sacrifice from his own salary to offset the bill of people whose sweat and time was use in accumulating the salary being paid to me him? Are no longer a nation? Have we truly lost our senses as a nation or we are just the animal people call us?
What is happening to APC? If they don't know what to do why can't they hand over power to those who knows. So this fool CNT think of what to do to generate income, and yet we still see people following them with broom all around. When a hole was found in the umbrella and we felt the touch of the rain, we were all angry and needed to sweep them out, but now that the broom is no longer useful we can burn it to ashes

Lol! Is it not better for the civil servants to be unemployed? Instead of wasting their time and going to work, unpaid and incurring personal debts, then you now say you can't pay them for their time wasted.

Is it not better to sit under tree and sell groundnut and bananas instead of this rubbish?

Anyway shebi na dem vote the governor, let them sacrifice

ONLY IN NIGERIA!!!!!! BABA YOU & ALL YOUR CO POLITICAL COHORTS SHOULD WAVE / SACRIFICE YOUR REMAINING SALARY TILL 2019 FIRST PLEASE. LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

hahahaha this is mumu Governor, Please workers should sue this Man ooo. You ask me to work and after i finish you say you no go pay me...

Was the money not provided by the FG to your state.


Nigeria is a funny jokers.

If any of the workers steals maggi to cook , the useless police will arrest the person and charge to court and the court will jail the person 50 years.

Someone should tell the governor that he is Practically Mad................!!!!

eagleeye2:
WHAAATTTTT

I'll add


NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

He should get the 80 billion naira from the corrupt mimiko,why the innocent workers?

Y didn't he waive his desire to be governor.
Bunch of clueless people claiming power and making life harder for the hardworking lower class people.
And I remember when he said he would offset debts and salaries as part of campaign promises....
Clueless people.

SalamRushdie:
What Nonsense ..

LOL wailing zombie will hit this thread like bees but they ignore the thread where Bayelsa Govt is owing 9 month salaries...

mrvitalis:
So ondo as a state can't raise 10 bn per month as a state ..?? We are not serious in this country

What's the population of that state?? Can't u find a way to tac everyone average of 5k per month ??

Yes the people must contribute to make the government work ,they dont that's y they are too sentimental when it comes to election

That's aside a fishing hub with west and Lagos as target can easily raise that money ...a casava estate with the sole aim of producing ethanol industrial starch can raise that money

Common can't the governors think ??

See as this one dey talk as if na ideal world we dey. Keep on smoking weed, very soon u go know how far

they wanted you to waive your salaries and you pay bills..its that the network and others bills we bought sometimes do message us not to pay for two month??
or the landlords of the house we occupied we just come to us one day and say please my tenant do not pay ur rent for the next 3month...bomb dey ur head

is this a joke or what?

he should waive his salary and other politician in his admin to pay the debt

Ogbeni forget that wan wey u dey yarn, so because he promised not to owe, now that's an achievement in the offing?

When citizens think this way, then it shows how bad our political system is, that even your right which should be given to you now becomes a favour done by a politician. Ughh so


Reportedly He promised to pay the outstanding such a statement from him is callous

olujastro:
People don't read but just hurry to criticize as if they're getting a cheque for it. If you read the story you'll see so much sincerity coming from the new governor who just came in February and inherited this horrible mess. I'm beginning to like him after reading this, compared to that "youth governor" they call Yahaya Bello.

“I know it is not easy but it is also getting increasingly difficult for the government, too, but whatever we do, we will try not to owe salaries,” the governor said.

SaharaReporters learned that the governor has paid three months’ salaries - February, March and April - to the government workers of the state.

Our correspondent reported that Mr. Akeredolu has also paid one out of six months’ outstanding salaries owed to the workers by the immediate past governor, Olusegun Mimiko.

This is his strategy not to honour any staff welfare package like increament, incentives, bonuses etc.

At least the Bayelsa man is not telling people to waive all the wages they are bing owed ..that is the height of insensitivity , callousness , wickedness, diabolism and bad leadership ..That governor needs to have his head checked

faladeSM1132:
Ondo State, can you see now that no politician in Nigeria worthy of our standing under the sun to cast vote for........
.
This is Akeredolu that promised to pay workers outstanding from day one, Now you've voted for him to the throne of an excellency .....
it's time to show you the other side of Nigerian politics,
ondo state workers!!!!
that is your cross and you must carry it for 4 years

I knew all along this Akeredolu guy would be a disaster

All I see are inconsistencies in figures. They said wage bill is now 3.9bmonthly. They are owing 6 months arrears inherited from mimiko amounting to 38.57bn. And they paid 1month out of the six months leaving a balance of 34.5bn for five months.
From the statements above:
6months = 38.57bn
5months = 34.5bn
And 1 month= 3.9bn.

So how come 5months is still giving 34.5 when monthly wage bill is approximately 4bn? It should be a max of 20bn for 5months unless there's something else they have not told us. Did they review salaries downwards in the state?

There is a kind of personal sacrifice a true leader should have made himself before having the guts to make this sort of statement in public. There's a kind of personal commitment and selflessness a true leader should have displayed before making this sort of appeal to hungry workers and while it may be met with disapproval by the workers, it wouldnt attract a single insult.

Even though the money owed is from his predecessors, even though he's shown some honesty and openness in the issue, this is definitely an irresponsible statement made to helpless hungry and angry workers.
