Hahah you never can tell. Singapore, Malaysia, China and even Rwanda are perfect examples

Barely three weeks after the organised labour and the Rivers Government reached an agreement, which led to the suspension of a planned labour strike, pensioners again hit the streets, demanding unpaid emoluments.

The pensioners, who resumed their plea to the state government, said despite reaching an agreement to set up a tripartite committee to address their plights, nothing had been done yet.

Speaking on behalf of the senior citizens, the Secretary to the Nigerian Union of Pensioners, Rivers State branch, Joseph Agbo, said the pensioners had yet to know their fate concerning the unpaid benefits.

He said, “When we had a meeting, it was agreed that the issue of pension, including gratuity, non-payment of death benefits; all were included, but until this moment, we don’t know our fate. The committee the government said it will set up; up till now, they have not done it, nothing has been done. "We have written to the Secretary to the State Government, requesting an audience so that we can explain our problems because if you are not a pensioner, you would not know much about the problems we face.“But up till now, our letter is just there, they don’t care. The government has no regard for their fathers; that is why they have no regard for pensioners in this state.”

AGGRIEVED APC MEMBERS PETITION CHAIRMAN CARETAKER COMMITTEE IN PROTEST AGAINST CHIEF SYLVA
...AS CRISIS ROCKS PARTY OVER BAYELSA SENATORIAL BYE ELECTIONS

The Bayelsa State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has erupted in crisis barely two months month to the two senatorial bye elections scheduled scheduled for October 31, 2020.

Some aggrieved leaders of the APC from Bayelsa Central and Bayelsa West Senatorial Districts have forwarded a petition to the Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the party against the conduct of the state’s party leader, Chief Timipre Syva.

The leaders who belong to the APC Constitutional and Due Process Vanguard òf the State chapter include Hon Godwin Sidi, Hon Dressman, Frank Oputu,(Bayelsa Central), Hon Peter Ozobo, Ebide Brown and Moses Hitler from Bayelsa West.

The aggrieved APC members who wrote the APC Caretaker Committee Chairman through their lawyer, Mr. Rueben Egwaba and Co, accused that the leader of the party, Chief Timipre Sylva and his supporters of a plot to impose candidates on the party without consultations.

The group, in the letter, called on the Caretaker Committee Chairman to stop Sylva and a few others from imposing candidates of their choice on the party to avert what they described an impending disaster against the party in the bye elections.

They alleged that Sylva who is neither from Bayelsa Central nor West where the senatorial bye elections are scheduled to take place is working to impose candidates who recently defected to the APC from the PDP and have not even spent the requisite number of days to qualify them for nomination for elective positions.

They alleged that Sylva Style of leadership especially his decision to work with a few members of the State Executive Committee and select only his cronies from his senatorial district for the few slots of federal appointments was responsible for his difference with Senator Heineken Lokpobiri and others which have factionalized the party in the state.

They stressed further that while the lingering disagreements have not been resolved, Sylva who is not from the two senatorial districts is working to impose candidates of his choice on the party without consulting leaders and stakeholders from the affected area.

The aggrieved APC members warned that the tendency to impose those who recently defected to the party when the party’s aborted victory in the gubernatorial election was already in sight to the exclusion of committed loyalists who had served the party with dedication would be counter productive.

They said further that the candidates being promoted by Chief Sylva and his group were unpopular and would weaken the party’s chances at the poll.

The group also urged the Caretaker Committee Chairman to take urgent steps to intervene in the plot by Sylva to impose a former Deputy Governor of State, Chief Peremobowei Ebebi, from Ekeremor local Government Area as the Party’s candidate for Bayelsa West in violation of an existing agreement on zoning in the district irrespective of party affiliation.

According to them, violation of the long standing agreement between Ekeremor and Sagbama to share the senatorial slot and the House òf Representative seat, would not be in the interest of the APC.

They stressed that fielding a candidate from Ekeremor as the party’s candidate for the Senatorial election when an Ekeremor man, Hon Fred Agbedi, occupies the House òf Reps seat would put the party in a difficult situation.

They said that the Bayelsa Central Senatorial has the same complaints about sidelining critical and long standing members in favor of defectors from the PDP.

The group which threatened legal action against the planned willful imposition of candidates, alleged that “the Sylva loyalists are bent on pushing this provocation through fraudulent primaries where figure will just be collated and allocated to people.”
