Who are the people made up of APC?

Not everyone is a saint. That's the answer you need.
But Buhari is trying.

Kogi is in tears because of one man...

#May the sweat and blood of the innocent speak against him.

#May the tears of the widows and fatherless speak against him.

# May his seat reject him.

Let the DG transmit the percentage of the allocation used in paying salaries. And also tell the world what percentages are paid to workers. The truth be told the govt is not in tune with the people. Rented wailers tend to disappoint at the end. I wonder if any of appointees has an afffected relative, would they be bold to say salaries have been up till date?

How about the $12m loan taken by Yahaya Bello's government to purchase cars for his appointees and 100 cars just purchased for Buhari's election next year? This government is by far the most wasteful and wicked since the creation of Kogi State. No wahala, we are waiting for you at polls.

These people have no element of shame...
You open your mouth wide to say you can't afford to pay the people who have worked, sweated to make a living.
Some govt officials have no brains, if only they can put themselves in the shoes of these hardworking people then I'm sure they'll realise the pains one goes thru for not being paid.

A nation on reverse gear.

PDP HAS DONE ENOUGH ROT IN NIGERIA


NO PDP MEMBER MUST EVER ATTAIN EVEN A LOCAL GOVERNORSHIP POSITION.

PDP RUINED NIGERIA AND ALL THE STATES.

BUHARI IS TRYING TO FIX IT, BUT EVIL SETS LIKE IPOB KEEP FRUSTRATING HIM.

THE PEOPLE SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT NIGERIA AND BLASTING BUHARI ARE PEOPLE THAT BENEFITED FROM PDP'S ROT.

HOW CAN BUHARI KEEP WORKING HARD ONLY FOR SOME IGNORANT E-RATS TO SAY CRAP.

“When you do a comparative analysis of wages in the North Central geo political zone, Kogi pays the highest and despite that, we have been very faithful,’’ Fanwo said.
Imagine who does he want to do the comparative analysis? You are the one trying to convince us show us the so called figures you have that justifies the statement.

So your myopic thinking is that ebiras rob passengers on the highway and not fulanis that the governor has clamped down on. The problem with Nigerian youth is the fact that the believe every folktale they are told hook and sinker. For your information, My Dad is Ebira , my mum is fulani, i grew up in lagos state(i speak yoruba fluently,), i served and worked in Umuahia.., (my best friends are ibos and majorly Christians) and we live harmoniously and happy amongst one another. I dont criticize tribes but individuals, you should learn to do same.. its healthy.

How do you know its ebira they spoke?? therr are over 20 tribes in kogi state alone... in kogi central, over 11 different tribes... some even have s semblance to ebira, but they are different... Its rare to see Ebiras become highway robbers.... moreover so that means you hate edo people as well cos the rob along ore road or you hate ibos as well cos they rob along enugh_PH road... stop deceiving yourself young woman evil abounds in tbe the map of Nigeria. just pray for you own safety and that of your people.

Yahaya Bello is why I believe youths should not be given any opportunity in Nigerian politics.

Donald Duke did it

Fashola Did it

El Rufai Transformed Abuja

Akpabio was less than 50

The Kogi State Government says huge loan servicing is responsible for its inability to pay the salaries of its workers regularly.

Mr Kingsley Fanwo, the state Director-General, Media and Publicity made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lokoja.

Fanwo said that the loans were taken by the two previous administrations for projects that did not add value to the state.

“Sometimes, we repay between N400 million and N500 million monthly as loans that add no value to the state.


“These loans were taken by the last two administrations and some of them were invested on projects that were never completed.

“When you go out, you will see Kogi Hotels, billions of naira was collected for that project and it was not completed, and it is not adding any value to the state.

“Also, the Kogi House in Abuja has gulped billions of naira, yet, it is not completed, not adding any value to the state,’’ he said.

The DG said the previous administrations collected N200 million from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) development, which was not used for the purpose intended.

According to him, rather than using the money for SMEs development, some people just shared the money.

“There is no record of anybody given loan and now we are repaying. So all of these have taken its toll on the resources and finances of the state’’

He said despite the poor resources accruing to the state, the government still strive to pay workers’ salaries.
“We cannot shy away from the fact that the resources that is coming to the state now has dwindled due to the loans we are repaying.

“It is increasingly difficult to muster enough resources to pay salaries regularly.

“As I speak with you, we are still owing March and April salaries,’’ Fanwo said.

He said despite the dwindling resources of the state, the government will remain committed in the payment of salaries even if not as when due.

“When you do a comparative analysis of wages in the North Central geo political zone, Kogi pays the highest and despite that, we have been very faithful,’’ Fanwo said.

The DG denied allegations that workers were being owed 24 months salary.

He said those peddling the falsehood were the people that benefited from the rot in the state in the past.

On bailout funds received from the Federal Government, Fanwo said that they were used to pay workers’ salaries.

He, however noted that the bail out funds were not free gifts.

“The bailout funds were not gifts from the Federal Government, it was more or less a loan, so you have to prioritise what you use your bailout funds for.

“So, we used it basically for salaries and we were the only state in the federation that published how we used that bailout funds.

“Transparency and accountability are the hallmarks of this administration,’’ he said. (NAN)

Will you please be quiet and prosecute those who obtained and misappropriated the loans while not forgetting to recover the stated sums from them. We know how difficult that can be because polibrigands are involved.
