Bleak Christmas For APC Secretariat Workers Over Unpaid Salary by Bekwarra(m): 9:48am On Dec 23, 2015 |
It promises to be a bleak Christmas celebration for
members of staff of the National Secretariat of the All
Progressives Congress as the party closed for official
business for the year 2015 on Tuesday.
A member of staff, who pleaded for anonymity for
fear of retribution, confided in our correspondent
that the situation was so dire that “as I am speaking
to you, we have not been paid for December, none of
us was given one grain of rice. It is that bad.”
No official reason was given for the inability of the
party to pay its workers. It was however learnt that
paucity of funds occasioned by the current economic
realities and the alleged “abandonment” of the party
by its traditional financiers were responsible.
Another member of staff, who also pleaded
anonymity, expressed disappointment that the party
which campaigned on a welfarist platform had taken
little interest in the welfare of its workers only “seven
months after taking office.”
He said it was unfair and inconsiderate for the party
in power not to meet its obligations to members of
its staff.
“What do you think people will say? Who will believe I
have not been paid my salary? We are no longer the
opposition party. What do we have to show for our
sacrifices for this party? It is not fair.”
Other members of staff, who were seen in clusters
discussing their predicament in hushed tunes,
watched as members of the party’s National Working
Committee hopped into their cars and left the
secretariat one after the other.
Attempts to get an official party position on the issue
failed.
Calls to the mobile telephone of the National
Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun,
were not picked. A response to a text message sent
to him on the issue was still being awaited as of the
time of filing this report.
Similar calls to the mobile telephone number of the
party’s National Secretary, Mai Mala Buni, indicated it
was switched off. A response to a text message sent
to him was also being awaited as of the time of filing
this report (7.36pm). www.punchng.com/bleak-christmas-for-apc-secretariat-workers/ |

The Hausa soldier said "the guy fall our hand too much o, this change no make am at all na yeye change." |
