#5.3 billion on Salary arrears and pensions.


I hope you will be faithful enough to pay this salary arrears and pension.

See ehn... If you come up with any story later.. Lemme not talk now.

Rogues, rogues, and more rogues. How is this going to transform Aba and Umuahia in to world class cities, or the state at large to something spectacular. Year in year out, quack budget, quack spending, and looting by common rogues.

I pray the $5.3 billion on Salary arrears and pensions stimulates the State Economy.

A Labourer deserves his/her wages.

I don't see why and how a political officer (elected or an appointee) can be receiving monthly wages when there are outstanding gratuity and unpaid allowances owed to workers for whatever reasons.

I approve too.

Gbowai!
