Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi
State has blamed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for his government’s
inability to pay workers’ salaries and pension.
According to his spokesman,
Kingsley Fanwo, the last PDP administration embarked on failed projects through
bonds, which indebted the state.
Fanwo, who was a guest on a
Channels Television programme Politics Today, on Wednesday, said the government
of Yahaya Bello had only been able to access N20bn bailout funds which have
made them unable to pay salaries.
“On the issue of salaries, PDP
caused most of the problems we face. They took bonds and they were expending it
on white elephant projects. We did not collect N30bn bailout, we took N20bn.
“What we needed to pay salaries
and pensions projected N50.8bn which was approved by president Buhari. From the
N50.8bn, we have accessed only N20bn, remaining N30.8bn, that is the reason why
we are still owing salaries.”
