Chairman, the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ogun State chapter, Emmanuel Bankole, has confirmed that the outgoing Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, has paid workers’ deductions as he promised.

The confirmation came just as the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress alleged that Amosun had fixed the money in a deposit account for personal interest.

The NLC chairman told our correspondent on the phone on Tuesday while clearing the air on the insinuation that the governor had reneged on his promise to pay the deductions.

The governor had during the Workers’ Day celebration in Abeokuta told the workers they would start receiving alerts after 24 hours.

But days after, workers did not receive alerts, prompting insinuations that the governor would not make the payment.

When asked whether the workers had started receiving alerts, the NLC chairman confirmed that substantial number of workers had received, saying, “Good number of them (workers) have been paid”.

He added, “Except for local government workers who have not been paid, all the outstanding have been paid, I can confirm this to you.”

But reacting to the news of the payment, the Ogun APC in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Tuesday and signed by the party’s caretaker committee’s publicity secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, alleged that Amosun had kept the money in a fixed deposit account.

The statement read in part, “Amosun should bury his head in shame. He has not done any special favour to the workers. He should have paid the workers with the interests on their money he used as fixed deposits with leading commercial banks for years, thereby reaping billions of naira in interest.

“Or where did Amosun suddenly get the money when there is no excess crude oil payment, Paris Club refund or bailout by the FG. If Amosun has given these funds to the owners when due, instead of trading with them, many who lost their lives would have been saved; many families would not have been broken and many who developed high blood pressure and related diseases would have been saved from such ailments.”

When contacted, a Special Adviser to Governor Amosun, Mr Rotimi Durojaiye, faulted the claims.

He said “Ogun State workers cannot say that. They know the governor loves them, and they love him too.

“Whosoever is trying to knock the heads of workers with the governor is mischievous and ungodly.”

Leaders with no fear of God

Trash
Bad roads all over the state even in the industrial hubs and estates and was still deducting workers salaries up till last month and we keep celebrating that the state generates the 3rd largest IGR in the country. What is the essence of high IGR when it doesn't have any notable effect on the overall development of the state and its people? Now that the deduction has been paid, hope the next governor will not start deducting from their salaries again.

we should celebrate him for paying workers their salary over due After using their salaries to trade in the Bank ?

The rogues in APC only recognise and honour loyalty. Anything else is OP, that means out of point.

Efcc is waiting for him after his tenure ,at least he will spend a week with them for interregation and at end of the day. Nothing will happen

No sir/ma
APC is saying he once used the for something else that earned him millions of profit, that he should have paid the workers earlier. That if he is paying them now, he should also add the interest their money yielded.
They arent denying he's paying now but where did he kept the money all the months they were been owed?

NLC should not forget the civil servants, medical Parastatals and other staff that have not been paid in Abia state.

Governors owing salaries will never know peace till they do the right thing. Amen.
