Old pictures from Oshiomhole's administration. Why are you this desperate

Check the dates. They are during Obaseki. One is even last months protest.

A desperate politician trying to deceive the people for the upcoming election.

Paraman:
He should have left this decision for the next governor of the state to make

why anything good you people are always against it? late is better than never.
Who told you that the next governor had it mind to do it right away in his 100 days in office?

that one nah Greek 🎁. Major road in that are DEATH TRAP.

Almaigaa:
Wetin concern you? Abi you want come kidnap me?

Oga u are not from Edo
Just shut up
We dey always rep our hood and we fear no face
Oga where in Edo are u from?

slivertongue:
stop lying

No to godfatherism in Edo

Because of the forth coming elections, politicians don't disappoint.

Almaigaa:
I can show you a million proof

Stop deceiving Nigerians all in the name of Cheap politics of bitterness.

Your narrative is even proof that you know nothing about Edo, are not resident in Edo and therefore are just on a fishing expedition of deception.

One of the first things that the current governor on the assumption of office did was the introduction of the contributory pension scheme which is regulated by Federal Pension laws....

Therefore Pensioneers receive their pension directly from Pension Fund Administrators (PFA's) which are private companies & not from state government. So how can Edo state be owing pension? See how obvious your ignorance is....?

Edo State government is owing nobody pension.....

Secondly, the news cutout you posted from channels TV has nothing to do with pension but gratuity. That's gratuity payment arrears that predates this Administration.

When Oshiomole became governor he inherited gratuity arrears from Osaremen Osunbur dating back to 1983. He paid them uptill year 2000 and stopped....

That's why they took the protest to Obaseki to please continue the balance payment.

In fact, the Chairman of Edo state pensioners during their last protest categorically said that they have been receiving pension without hitches, that their concern is that after Obaseki goes, they are not sure if the next governor will be consistent as he is; hence the protest for the gratuity arrears payment to be sped up.....

In case you are not aware; gratuity is not pension. Gratuity (under the old legacy system, before the introduction of Contributory Pension Scheme, CPS) is the bulk sum that is paid to you after you retire which is supposed to cover you for a period of 6months to a year.....

After that monthly pension payments begin to come in...

Under the New CPS, the state government gives your money to PFAs, you can call them pension banks, when you retire, you decide how they pay you.

After retirement, you do revalidation of your info with them & they pay you 25% of the total sum deposited by both you & the state. Then you decide how the balance is paid to you either through annuity or pre-programed instalmental payments.

The way CPS works, during your service years, the state pays a Percentage of your salary every month, you also pay a percentage of your Salary monthly through deductions to a PFA of your choice.

The PFA uses your money to do business & renders accounts to you on monthly & annual basis. By the time you retire, you go to them & do revalidation & capturing & collect your money. The state isn't involved in the process at all....

@ OredoPikin

That member isn't from Edo state. He is a liar. He is Yoruba , he claims to be from the North then East then now Edo.

Just go through his posts.

@ Almaigaa , tugha rie eren. Don't bring Edo state into the rubbish you do on this forum

We didn't cause your problems in life. Edo state didn't make you unemployed or frustrated.

Keep Edo state our of your mouth . On a Monday your mates are at work but since 4am you have been trolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't worry Mr seun is on your matter

Some are saying he's looking for votes, which might be true but who among our politicians is not looking for vote? Can we fix our roads, electricity, etc looking for votes like this?

Ofunaofu:
Asue is the next governor and will continue to pay the new minimum wage

I think it's a ploy to get people to support the continuity by supporting Asue but I am sure if Asue enters he will complain the money is not sustainable.

Commendable but it's a campaign tactics. Edo needs a transformer to build infrastructures (roads, industry) that will create jobs and build its economy

Ofunaofu:
Asue is the next governor and will continue to pay the new minimum wage

god almighty,the one that knows everything and see future.

U guys that's criticizing dis good did are all idiots! Person increase him state minimum wage and una dey criticize am again! Had it been he didn't, na una go still complain ...


I wonder y people are so daft and hard to please bkus dey want to politize everything

Ofunaofu:
…FG, other states should emulate Edo – NLC chairman



https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/05/obaseki-pays-n70000-new-minimum-wage-to-edo-workers/amp/

The workers should collect it with joy but vote right in the upcoming governorship election to avoid entering "one chance" again.

richidinho:


Oga wey no fit fight flood, want to be Edo Godfather

Very desperate!

flood is a big problem and minimum wage is also a bigger problem so give him kudos for solving the biggest problem.all Edo workers don't ride on that flooded road but all of them will enjoy minimum wage . They suffer flood during raining season only but will enjoy this money throughout the year. This is a great feet kudos to the governor

Paraman:
He should have left this decision for the next governor of the state to make

What do you know about Edo State? His candidate to succeed him has been one of the chief economic advisors to both him and Oshimole for years, and knows the Edo state economic landscape inside out. Trust me Edo state is in safe hands economically.

Agadinaagwuofe:
I think it's a ploy to get people to support the continuity by supporting Asue but I am sure if Asue enters he will complain the money is not sustainable.

Let me tell you, practically every state in Nigeria can pay 70k minimum wage. The problem with so many of you is your are unbelievably ignorant of the amount of corruption and wastage in most states. Did you not see the Kogi chap and how much he paid the America school for his kids school fees? What of Wike demanding 25 billion from Rivers per month? Obaseki as a seasoned banker has run the affairs of Edo state effectively. Long before now, he was paying 13th month salary for edo workers. It's not hard when you have a a governor that is focused on the welfare of his people.

Paraman:
He should have left this decision for the next governor of the state to make

And why is that if I may ask?
So civil servants in the state should continue suffering like other states not paying the minimum wage until a new governor is elected!!
Recognize and commend a good thing or deed when you see one even if you are aversed to the situation

Ofunaofu:
Asue is the next governor and will continue to pay the new minimum wage

Or he may not altogether.
Trust no politician man

Ofunaofu:
It won't take anything away from you if you appreciate this wonderful gesture from the governor.

You and I know so well that Tinubu can never achieve this. Look at what Tinubu is doing with the minimum wage negotiations with the NLC and TUC. Pricing and haggling the minimum wage like market women haggling over the price of crayfish

They will rather he doesn't pay the 70k new wage.
What is wrong with people.
You just can't satisfy humans no matter your effort

Akinboboz:
The man is looking for votes from civil servants...we know them.

Maybe Tinubu should start thinking about re-election by doing the right thing about a new national minimum wage

Jostoman:
Let me remind you that Obaseki have been paying edo state worker 40,000 naira even when other governor were struggling to pay 30,000 naira.

No be every time you suppose to dey play politics of bitterness.

Please educate him.
How much is his governor in yobe state paying

yarimo:
Eyes Service payment, that won't stop voters from voting out PDP in next governoship election

The PDP is only waiting to write their victory speech post election so take a hike lad
