I will take a second look at the agreement with pensioners -Gov. Otti<\/p>\n
The Executive Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, has pledged to reevaluate the agreement his government signed with Abia pensioners. <\/p>\n
The Governor made this commitment during a church service celebrating the 80th birthday of statesman and former senator for Abia Central, Sen. Chris Adighije.<\/p>\n
“I want to thank you for your honesty. You can’t initially agree and then later claim you don’t agree. You also can’t sign under duress as a senior citizen,” he stated.<\/p>\n
“I maintain that our senior citizens, our pensioners, are honest people. The issue lies with their leadership, which is related to the association.”<\/p>\n
“When you say that nobody was paid a pension in 2018, you are correct, but this leadership was part of the reason for it.”<\/p>\n
“Even when they were entering into an agreement with me, they probably didn’t believe that there would be any payments. When I made the payment, they turned around and said they didn’t sign, and that angered me.”<\/p>\n
“However, because you have brought this up, I will take a second look at it,” the governor concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
