okuta007:



do you have a job? and if you do, is it government work ? If you work as a messenger at Uwelu motor spare parts market, how will Obaseki's minimum wage benefit you? since you do not work or the governement

jowhyte:
It’s true! I am here in Benin city and my wife work in the civil service.

This is even channel tv news that is kinda of anti-obaseki especially during the last elections.

Same with Vanguard that recently gave him the Governor of the year award. Some people where like he bought the award. I was like Obaseki a miser buy an award from Vanguard who at a point was anti-Obaseki.

You can ask anyone working Edo state civil service or pensioners if they have not been receiving their salaries and pensions promptly every month. Even during the peak of Covid-19 when other states where slashing salaries or unable to pay promptly, Obaseki never defaulted either salaries or pension.

He doesn’t joke with workers and pensioners emoluments.

Yves4real:
I'd like someone from Edo state to confirm this because I don't believe anything Nigerian politicians say.

Besides, this thread may remain here since it is not bad news about the governor. If it was something bad, it would have made the front page hours ago.

Modified:
I don't know why some of you are attacking me because I said that I don't believe anything that Nigerian politicians say. It's fine if you trust them. But I am also entitled to my opinion.
All those of you that are attacking me because of allegiance to Nigerian politicians should be calming down.

I told my father to shut up if he has nothing to say. Can you tell us what this government has done? I've been hearing of his wonderful plans since the beginning of his tenure, however none of it seems to come to pass. Throughout the dry season our roads were unattended to. Now that the rain is here you see contractors everywhere constructing roads in the rainy season. I stay in Benin. The roads are a write off just as the governor and this administration is a total write-off

infinitemiles:
Come to think of it, how many persons are under the EdoState government payroll. the last time i checked, many workers have retired and no new employment. Thats why Obaseki increased the minimum wage of the few workers in his State.

PrincessofDSS:


Sorry if I’m being too inquisitive, are you a beneficiary or do you know anyone that got paid?

gaddafe:


You are very free to say any nonsense online. If he is paying the money, I would be aware as I'm not residing in the moon. I stay here in Benin. That was was how he made so many promises when campaigning. I remember those Ogbe stadium workers standing on his defence on several occasion. Their reason was that he pays salary on time. Only for him to return for second term and fire the entire workers. I couldn't help laughing at their foolishness. They were lucky the government backed down from that decision.

Eroj:
fool like u.

wiseone28:
PDP supporters will come for ya head.


Especially the Pdp is a religion in Akwa ibom crew

tonididdy:

Lol it's not cool to say this because it's everything he's against BUT
Obaseki is the new godfather of Edo state.
He doesn't need to campaign much, whatever candidate he presents possibly shaiubu his deputy, is who will become next EDSG

The so called Father's of Faith have destroyed my beloved state.

And Udom is very ungrateful.
Imagine Glory Edet winning House Of Reps.

Daum:


Oshiomole had a larger financial chest
Borrowed heavily and left the state in debt.
Obaseki can't borrow much because most of the money he helped his boss borrowed went into private pocket. So he is just managing what he has. I believe if he had been in Ohio shoes, he would have fared better than him. This guy doesn't like noise at all.

ANOTHER STRATEGY OF BUYING CIVIL SERVANTS VOTES!!

They are talking of Edo state not Ogun state dear.

So for their mind dey don do something wey dey commendable. Mumu people.

Falcao789:
is a lie am in edo state , obaseki did not pay any new minimum wage

oz4real83:
One thing Obaseki doesn't joke with since he became Governor is workers' salaries. I don't know much about the N40,000 new minimum wage payment but his antecedents with respect to salary payments will make me believe that he has implemented it.

naijaman2225:


WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT. THAT STRATEGY IS MORE ETHICAL THAN THAT OF A GOVERNOR'S WIFE DISTRIBUTING N1 MILLION TO AIDES IN A STATE WHERE THE GOVERNOR DOESN'T PAY SALARIES.

naijaman2225:

D PEOPLE NOR MUMU. THERE ARE LOTS OF STATES IN NIGERIA WHERE THEIR (MIS) LEADERS ARE BUSY DOING NOTHING AND YET PEOPLE ARE STILL SINGING THEIR PRAISES. SO NOTHING WRONG IN PRAISING THOSE WHO DID SOMETHING.
