Has Buhari bought any weapon for the military
since he assumed presidency? What is
happening to our security votes now?
Which weapons are the military using now,
where did they get them from, including the
ones they used in Kaduna against Zakzaky?
Is the new NSA distributing our yams to Tinubu
& co? While we're shouting #DasukiGate , so
much is going on behind the scene |

Always speaking from two side of the mouth |
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State said he
asked the immediate past Head of Service of the
State, Mr. Jerry Obazele, to proceed on
compulsory retirement over gross negligence
tending towards fraud.
Speaking during the swearing-in of the New Head
of Service of the State, Mrs Gladys Osaretin
Idahor at the Government House, Benin City,
Tuesday, Oshiomhole said “I am a defender of
jobs. I believe experience is a value to be
celebrated, not to be punished. But I have had to
arrive at the painful conclusion that Obazele had
to be relieved of his services because not only did
he fail to provide leadership, he also conducted
himself in a way that would have led me to
approve of a fraudulent claim for pensioners.
“He was appointed according to my judgment and
I accept responsibility for my poor sense of
judgment but I also have the courage to correct
my mistakes once I discovered it was a mistake.
“The responsibility of a Head of Service is to be a
superintendent over the Civil service. There are
many of our senior citizens who had retired from
service from as far back as 1999, some even
under the military and by the time I assumed
office, many of these senior citizens had not
received their gratuity for over a period of 12, 13
years. The situation was compounded by the
thousands of workers that were retrenched by a
former PDP government between 2000 and 2001
and all of those people were not paid their
gratuity.
“There is no worst crime to a working man or
woman than to deny him his deferred wage which
we call gratuity which is meant to be paid at the
point of disengagement so he can use the money
to establish and face the rigors and reality of
retirement.
“We tried to deal with this problem from
inception. First, I gave a standing instruction to
the Accountant General that pensioners must be
paid exactly the same day as the current Civil
Servants. It is not that we pay them if there is
something left because at the end of the day,
nothing will be left when you pay for every other
thing. You must give priority accordingly.
“Two months ago, I called the Head of Service
and I said, I am looking forward to the end of my
tenure. When I say I want to finish strong and
finish well, it is not only in the area of physical
infrastructure, but I also want to deal with the
social sector. I want to look for money and pay a
chunk of money to these pensioners so that we
can reduce the waiting time.
“So I asked him, do you have the numbers and
the cost and he said yes and I told him, let me
have the documents. He produced a document
which detailed the number of pensioners year-by-
year and the amount required year by year.
“No more gratuity based on who you know, it is
batch by batch depending on when you retired.
So I saw from the records that Obazele gave me
that we have paid up to 2010. We have paid
many people who retired in 2010 and according
to the document, we had 130 persons who retired
in 2010 who have not been paid and we had
some other persons in 2011, 2012, 2013 and
2014.
“These numbers were stated clearly and he also
stated clearly to me, how much we required to
pay for each year. For 2010, the figure was N175
million to settle the 130 persons. I said, OK, you
let me have the names of these 130 persons for
2010 and the names of those who retired in 2011
through 2014 and the amount. The date of the
retirement, the day of employment, the total
number of years served which is the basis of
calculating gratuity.
“One week passed, two weeks and by the 3rd
week, I was watching news and I saw pensioners
protesting but I had given instructions three
weeks earlier that I want to pay these pensioners
but I needed the details to do it.
“I told my secretary to call the Head of Service to
submit all the details by 11am the next day since
he already has the summary so we could start
the process of payment. He should come also
with the Pension Board Members and all the
documents that have to do with pension
payments.
“At 11am, they were in my office and they gave
me a voluminous document. Just looking at it
straight, I tried to look at 2010. Whereas the first
document that was given says 130 pensioners
have gratuity pending, the total value of which
was N175 million, the new document shows 2010
that we have 377 people and we now need N490
million to pay them. For 2011, 2012, 2013, all the
figures had changed.
“So I said, I don’t know all the details but 2010, I
remember asking you, and you said many have
been paid and that only 130 is the number left.
So how has this number increased by 300% to
377? Obazele you are an Accountant, you have
been Auditor-General, you have been Accountant-
General, Permanent Secretary and now Head of
Service. You more than me should be at home
with figures, how do you explain this?
“The first thing he said was that, you know
maybe they changed the mode of calculations.
Maybe they are looking at when the papers were
prepared rather than when people retired so I
said, whatever formula you used, the number
must remain the same. The total cost will not
change. The only possibility of the numbers
changing is if you have doctored the documents.
“In any case, the first document was given to me
by you, prepared by ICT and this one you are
giving me is also prepared by the same unit. Why
should differences occur? If two people use
different formula, I can understand. This is the
same source and then he said, ‘oh, I didn’t
actually look at the documents’. I said, you didn’t
look at the documents you brought to me?
“The document, four persons signed: Accountant
and DFA Pension Board signed, Secretary Pension
Board signed, Director, ICT Software signed,
Permanent Secretary, ICT signed, four signatories
.Now, if I hadn’t remembered what they gave me
before, seeing four signatories, I would have
approved it and the numbers had changed
radically.
“Now, the simple thing was that in the past, when
they bring this document, I normally minute it to
the ICT to crosscheck. So now, they got ICT
person to sign so that I have no escape route but
trust, there was an escape route and I could see
through it. So I called the Director of SSS to send
me security officers to the pensions board to
retrieve all the files so we could prepare fresh
documents that would form the basis to pay
those pensioners.
“As a result, my hope and determination to pay
those pensioners before my 7th year anniversary
was dashed. You see, I had the will, I had looked
for the money but somebody in the Civil service
compromised my intention by falsifying numbers.
That is Civil Servants inhumanity to Civil
Servants.
“We had to appoint a new audit firm and they
have shown something that will shock you that in
the Pensions Board, they prepared for 1 person, 2
pensions with 2 original documents. Same date
of birth, same salary, everything same, but two
original vouchers. So whereas the real man is old
and dying, those that the government has put in
place to prepare their pension are busy feasting
on the lives of these senior citizens.
“We are disbanding the Pensions Board because
they have lived on fraud. Now we are reviewing
and re organizing even the ICT, clean it up and
ensure we have responsible and competent people
with character to man it.
“I believe and I am determined that before
Christmas, not later than next week, we will do
everything possible to commence the process of
paying many of these pensioners whose records
have been cleaned up.
“This is the reason I had to take the painful
decision of relieving the former Head of Service of
his job and in searching for replacement. I know a
lady who had managed, easily the most difficult
ministry and under whom we have sanitized the
ministry of education.
“So I believe that Mrs. Idahor possesses not just
the qualification and experience but also the
boldness and I know that the service will be in
very good hands.”
The Governor explained that his decision was
taken to protect the interest of the Pensioners
and Edo taxpayer and does not have any ethnic
or religious coloration.
In her response, the new Head of Service, Mrs.
Gladys Idahor said, “I want to appreciate the
Comrade Governor for finding me worthy of this
elevation to the position of Head of Service.
“I want to assure you sir, that the trust and
confidence you have reposed in me by this
elevation will not be betrayed.
“I’m not unaware of the challenges facing the
Civil Service but I want to believe they are not
insurmountable. I promise, with God helping me,
to re-orientate, reinvigorate and re-organise the
public Service for better performance realizing
that the Civil service is the engine room of the
government.”
