Pensioners in Umuahia, Abia state capital on Monday 14th October, 2019 protested in the streets of Umuahia demanding for their gratuity and pension arrears which is said to be over 20 months outstanding.

One of the protesters who simply gave his name as Ojemba told ABN TV that they want the government to pay them.

“We are protesting for over 20 months outstanding pension arrears. We want government to settle us, our children are out of school, and we can’t pay house rent, we can’t pay anything, we want all to be paid.

“It is 22 months now and this is aside what the past government is owing us, this is what the present government is owing us. If we add five months owed by the previous governor, Dr. T.A Orji, it will be making up to 27months unpaid pension. We are not even talking about gratuity that has been stopped for over 19months. We are heading to the state house of assembly. Ojemba added”

The pensioners headed to the Abia state House of Assembly where they were addressed by the speaker of Abia state house of assembly, Rt. Hon. Engr. Chinedum Orji.

I thought they are not civil servants

This is inconceivable,this politicians are having a field day with Nigerians because this country is plagued with cowardice. When there is nobody to check the abuse of power then shit happens.an employer did not pay you for almost 2 years and you still show up to work everyday that is stupidity and cowardice.

After working for years one have to still beg and protest for their own pension!
What sort of situation is this
what is wrong with us?

He has used your money to buy kerosene and shared it to you people. He is not gulty

Ikpeazụ is truly the LAST.

Names and their meaning.

Ikpezu nor mind to give each of them 5 liters of kerosine drink.

After that kogi state governor, this man is the most useless governor ever. I wonder if these abia people are part of my igbos.. Instead of making mouth in other issues they should please tidy up this greedy fat stomach orangutan.

Ikpeazu will make u think yeye Bello is a better governor.

Abia and oil producing state for that matter.

I forgot they prefer to drink 5 litres of kerosene instead of voting another candidate

@ op, i really feel these pensioners. see wetin person dey pass through for this country. Change people surname to ''pity''.

A sad sight.

And their governor present and past are pen to life time pension and outrageous allowances... we still dey sleep... wake up naija

Biafra governor making things hard for his own people and pensioners for that matter!

all these paid APC apologists should go and sit down.
Abia is PDP and Abia is in gods hands.
They should all go back to Oshogbo and ask Aregbesola to pay them.
No Governor owes salaries and pension in the SE.
Ikpeazu is the man of the masses.

Why are they begging him for mercy? Nigerians don't know their rights

The problem of Abia state is spiritual. Abia state has been dedicated to the devil. Until they free themselves from PDP demonic government which Okezie Ikpeazu is part of, Abia state will remain comatose.

After working for 35 years and you are still begging to collect your monthly pension that's not even up to what's budgeted for their pets food!
I don't blame him, I blame those people that return him to power despite seeing the failure he was!
Elderly citizens! Make una no vex

But wetin Ikpeazu use the #bailoutFund of #PMB_APC for?

Why are they in black?

The most useless governor in Nigeria. But then the indigenous youths are more concern about what going on in Lagos and SW at large

ikpeazu kerosene

Wickedness. And those who looted such money expect to live long?

SultanOfAbia:
May The New Generation of Nigerians Youths
Never end up like our Old generation that thought getting a degree was worth it..
Now look at them
AMEN..

If it was Southwest governor you guys will be hiding, but always quick to book space once it's about southeast, hypocrisy

Na beg dem dey beg Area t Scatters, make dem allow us close eyes sleep.

I have no comment.

[quote author=Anambralstson post=83135189][/quote]Your parents are begging the governor for their pension, yet what u are concern about is SW, no wonder they feed ur parents with kerosene in that place, What going in SW is more important. SMH.
