It has come to our consideration that the Nationwide Running Committee of the African Democratic Congress, led through Senator David Mark as Chairman and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as Secretary, has refused and ignored to pay celebration group of workers for over a yr.
We discover it unconscionable {that a} political celebration that has made many grandiose guarantees to hoodwink Nigerians owes its employees for greater than three hundred and sixty five days. Owing group of workers who come to paintings each day and who depend at the salaries for his or her day by day sustenance is depraved and reprehensible.
With this building, Nigerians can now see the vacancy and insincerity of the ones parading themselves as ‘new saviours’.
We now have obviously said that ADC leaders and their presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, don’t imply neatly and will do not anything for our nation. Their desperation for energy is pushed through non-public aggrandisement and venomous in poor health will in opposition to President Bola Tinubu. A celebration that can’t pay its cleaners and staff can’t be entrusted with our nation’s affairs.
Atiku Abubakar, the ADC’s chief and Presidential candidate, has a name for owing his staff. Whilst he frequently junkets to the UAE, group of workers at his Gotel Communique and different companies additionally went months with out pay and staged protests over unpaid salaries and different advantages.
The file of the ADC Normal Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola, on paying employees’ salaries and pensioners in Osun State, the place he used to be a governor for 8 years, used to be abysmal. As governor, he mismanaged the state’s budget to the purpose that he may now not pay employees. His govt thus offered quarter-salary and, now and then, half-salary bills. As for pensioners, he deserted them for greater than 4 years. Many died as a result of they may now not have enough money the fundamentals of lifestyles.
We’re subsequently now not stunned that ADC, harbouring birds of the similar feather, can’t pay its employees’ salaries.
We’re sounding a caution to Nigerians and dealing folks now: reject ADC. Reject Atiku Abubakar and reject all ADC applicants within the subsequent common elections. They don’t have the pastime of our nation and our folks at middle. A celebration that aspires to manipulate Nigeria and which can’t be depended on with one thing as elementary because the control of its personal affairs and the welfare of its staff must be rejected through Nigerians.
