The governorship candidate of the
Action Alliance, AA, Uche Nwosu, yesterday, gave reasons he did not end the
sufferings of Imo pensioners as a Chief of Staff (CoS) to Governor Rochas
Okorocha.
According to Nwosu, his role as
CoS was advisory while the buck stopped at the table of his father-in-law who
is the Imo state governor.
In a statement by Onwusanya
Jones, his Campaign Director of Media and Publicity, Nwosu said that he was
fully prepared to end completely, the sufferings experienced by pensioners in
the state.
He said: “My duty as Chief of
Staff was to make suggestions, while the governor decides whether to implement
such suggestions or not. I didn’t have powers to do anything on my own. As
governor, I shall implement those ideas that are beneficial to our people and
make sure that our pensioners smile again.
“I am pained that our senior
citizens have to go through avoidable rigours before getting their legitimate
entitlements. It is also unfortunate that after these rigorous verifications,
they still do not get paid what they are entitled to and when they are entitled
to them.
“There is no reason why these
senior citizens should not get paid for their years of service to our State.
Some of them are the teachers who taught us, others served us in different
capacities in the civil service. Now, that they are old and retired, they
deserve to be paid without any hassles.”
