Hmmm
ReplyDeleteNa wah ooo
ReplyDeleteThat would be very wicked if its true
ReplyDeleteThis country is on a long thing. Every okoro comes in with their clownish self.
ReplyDeleteYou won't see many comments because this was done by an LP governor.
ReplyDeleteThe hypocrisy of those so called activists that claim to be fighting for a new and better Nigeria.
Watch this space when the Federal government or a state governed by another party takes some cost cutting measures
Theirs is a hypocrisy that I can't fathom
DeleteOh please! I support his actions. Go and check the number of people employed by the Ikpeazu administration from January till May, then you will understand. Man knew he was going to lose the election and went on an employment spree although he never published any vacancy advert so that the average Abian could apply. He left 3 month's salary unpaid to his so called core civil servants and for people like teachers he left more than a year's salary unpaid. Even for some of the people he employed at the tail end of his administration , he didn't pay even a month's salary.
DeleteUse your tongue and count your teeth and you will understand the game he was playing. So Otti should now spend the entire state's revenue paying salaries and clearing the plenty arrears left by Ikpeazu, okwaya? So people who are not civil servants will not at least enjoy dividends of democracy, ba?
He told us that he will clean up the civil service, he is doing that. He has paid the 3 months arrears within a space of 3 months of his being sworn in, he has started paying teachers. He has gone after ghost workers to cut them off the system. I am sure he will employ people after all this but in a transparent and fair manner so that the average Abian will have a fair shot at being employed. Yes, he feels our pains but must do the right thing too.Otti is working, leave him alone.
For ndi isi gate at Umuahia, Otti is coming oo. You guys should not start crying when he comes to chase you away from that place. He has left you people to buy and sell for these months. Don't cry when he comes to do the needful. Abia must be great, again!
If what anon 13:21 wrote is true, then I support the Governor's actions. We should endeavor to see past politics or political parties.
DeleteAnon you are correct. Oti is doing the lord's work. How can kerosene seller employ people few months to the end of his rule.
DeleteTo the cry cry anons ntoooor. Oti is on the right track and it is my state. Am happy with what he is doing
Anon 13:21 thanks for replying. Those ones up there will not use their sense. Everything to them is political party, they can never reason beyond that. When you criticize anything in this country, they always find a way to lump it to party rivalry. With people like this, this country will remain backward.
DeleteSad☹️ governor please rethink.
ReplyDeleteI see nothing wrong with this as most of these appointments are not on merit. In fact most appointments in civil service is not on merit, which is why government workers have been mediocre for years.
ReplyDeleteBesides, why would the past governor make those appointments towards the end of his tenure?
Ah ah but even if ,take pity on the staffs employed, they need the job forgusake
ReplyDeleteThis na real meaning of enjoy it while it lasts.
