The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Benue State, Bemgba Iortyom, speaks to JOHN CHARLES about the palliatives
We know him for all these empty promises he has been making. He is somebody who runs on empty promises, and no legacy other than the empty promises he has been making right from the campaign. He promised to return IDPs back to their ancestral homes in his 100 days, to clear salary and pension arrears in 100 days to fix Benue State and make it heaven on earth.
A few days ago he constituted a panel to look into the affairs of the state football club, Lobi Stars, and made the Speaker of the state Assembly the chairman, whom he said, would report to him. What manner of decision is that? The speaker is heading an arm of government, such as him. It shows that the governor has no idea of what governance is all about. However, the PDP is leaving no stone unturned to stop the governor before he takes the state down the pit where it cannot be recovered.
Which salary is he paying? When he came, he made bogus claims that he discovered thousands of ghost workers and had saved over N1bn, but we asked him to publish the list of ghost workers. The governor has locked down the machinery of the state, and closed all state accounts. He alone makes withdrawal; at whose vetting and for what purpose?
The governor promised to pay salaries on the 25th of every month. Has he been paying? There are arbitrary deductions and demotion of civil servants who were promoted by the last administration.
