The PDP candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, yesterday described as criminal the failure of APC governments to pay council workers for 18months while the state government is allegedly doling out N120 million to female supporters of Governor Oshiomhole.

Assuring the citizens that their weeping would soon be over, Ize-Iyamu was quoted in a press statement issued by his campaign, in reaction to a peaceful protest by local government workers over non payment of their salaries, yesterday.

“It is only a wicked, insensitive and irresponsible governor that will deny the workers their salaries, especially when Oshiomhole just donated N120 million to some selected market women at the Dr. Osaigbovo Ogbemudia Staduim, Benin-City, thanking them for supporting his administration.

‘’How did he spend the $225 million loan he took from the World Bank, which he said would improve the investment climate and increase the internally generated revenue of the state?

‘’How can the governor justify the N18m he pays to the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Channels Television at every rally for live coverage – when workers are being owned salaries?

‘’Is it right and just for Oshiomhole to be giving each local government council N18m anytime he goes for campaign, spends millions of naira hiring touts and hoodlums and yet, the welfare of government workers means nothing to him?”

Yes it is but what can we do wen our economy is bad. U soon will complain wen u become d Governor. Never trust d words of politicians

Theoritical:
It's not the responsibility of state govt to pay LG workers'. Coming from a man who wish to govern a state' dude needs more orientation on separation of power.

Jirate:


It Money we are talking about here, not Separation of Power. The State Government has refused to give the LGA direct access to their Monthly Allocation from the Federal Government. They collect the money on behalf of local governments, deduct as much as they like from it and hands “Pee Nuts” to those Local Government Chairmen.
Oshiomhole knows he has Embezzled those Funds, hence his Silence on the Issue.
Think, the Oshiomhole you know, will he Keep Mute on things like these so close to a very crucial election?.

The Man is a Crook..............Look at him dancing crookedly...............
