The Oyo State Government has commenced payments of pensions and gratuities of retired primary school teachers as well as local government workers across the state.

The State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney -General, Seun Abimbola, made the disclosure during a news conference in Ibadan, the state capital on Tuesday.

He explained that the decision was part of resolutions reached by a sixteen-member committee set up to resolve the legal impasse between the state government and pensioners which resulted in a consent judgement by the Industrial Court. He noted that a biometric data capturing of pensioners had also commenced to forestall cases of ghost pensioners and double payment.

He said the contribution would be used for continuous payment of pensioners apart from the N1.5 billion which was being paid currently.

This is a strategic vote buying to who them to their side

I'm sure Ajimobi wanted to hold on to these funds, but since his collision with his god fathers, he decided to do the needful, how much time do we have to control our destinies? Which way, The Pace Setter State?

Sad

Lols. Medicine after death.

Election rush, at least some pensioners will be happy, it is their right.

Too late to cry. Ajumobi has disappointed APC in Oyo no doubt.

Where did they kept the money before? It shows that the poverty I. Nigeria today are been schemed by the so call leaders.

Few days to another sham elections, oyo people should not be decieved.

campaign stategy...Shame on ajimobi ....More reason his party have to be voted out

Assuming no election around the corner, he won't pay it, is a pity.

Vote buying on point

Why now? Why should they be starved all this while? If this action is taken because of Saturday election, hope it's not too late? People will decide with their votes

Wow. AJ na scam.

Lol this Man is a fraud ..

That can’t safe APC from d imminent defeat in d forthcoming gubernatorial election in Oyo State... O to gee!

Oyo people tolerated nonsense, otherwise he will never smell governorship again ever.

Ka da fun oo AAAjimobi so you have this kinda money before. As you spoil oyo state God will spoil you.

This governor thinks every other person's are as daft as him. Constituted mumu man.

Is this the right time to do it? Let us have the fear of God.

Jokers.... Constituted Mumu

Why are politicians like this? They won’t do the needful until they need people’s votes again! Do they think people are fools? You will reap whatever you sow. If you sow wickedness you will reap it.

Thanks to elections... We say the same thing in Niger

I perceive a scam here against Saturday governorship election.

A little too late

(

Can you see the tactics of APC,tinubu I see you

Where was all this before election? All those begging and seeking for forgiveness that APC is now doing all over the radio in Oyo state, where were they when Oyo people were lamenting, schools shutting down for months. So its all about remaining in power

Scam....

So u dy punish ppl intentionally b4, oga o

So they have N1.5b before ?

Medicine after Death, unless APC rig in conjunction with INEC and militarize it again as usual, it's Done and Dusted. Gov Ajimobi is very wicked and people like them shouldn't rule us again.

I don't like invoking thunder but this once.....

Ika where has he been keeping that money all these while? Wicked soul.

Releasing money for gratuity and pension in the eve of election is very cruel. These are the people who have laboured so much for the State/country. Making their legitimate earnings look like you are doing them favour or for political gains is wickedness.

LOL

Ajimobi is crazy....

Don't u think is too late

Dis people are just too wicked so why paying dem now hiss

Will my mum be paid..... A dúpẹ́ oooo

Stupidity of highest order. Ajimobi is a disappointment

Sakamanje, 1.5bn, where's the remaining 40.8bn? 🙄

That payment is too late I don't think it will help a pc in Saturday's election

Good.

Hope abia state government will do the same bcos pensioners are crying , some ministries are been owed. They can't even vote in this upcoming election if they weren't paid before Friday. Please help us beg the governor to pay them. ABIA_STATE_2019 enyi_appolos AbiaStatePDP
