Kogi State APC Stakeholders has charged Governor Yahaya Bello to pay outstanding salaries and pension to workers and pensioners respectively.
In a press statement signed by the leader of the Forum, Senator Alex Kadiri after an interactive session with Governor Bello in Abuja on Sunday, the stakeholders insist on the implementation of the reports of the two reconciliatory committees set up by the national leadership of the party.
According to Kadiri, the interactive session which held at the Kogi State Liaison Office in Abuja was at the instance of Governor Bello.
At the meeting, Governor Yahaya Bello harped on the need for reconciliation in the Kogi state chapter of the party and for the unity amongst members.
He urged both sides in the protracted party dispute to resolve their differences and move forward as one united political party.
Speaking on behalf of the Kogi State Stakeholders’ Forum, Senator Alex Kadiri made two demands:
First, that the state government should take steps to pay outstanding salaries and pension to workers and pensioners respectively so as to cushion the prolonged hardship they have been experiencing in the state.
Secondly, Dr Kadiri drew the attention of the governor to the non-implementation of the reports of the two reconciliatory committees led separately by Prince Tony Momoh and General Garba (Rtd), set up by Chief John Odigie Oyegun, the former National Chairman of the party.
He also reminded the Governor that the resolutions reached during the interactive session with Vice-President Yemi Osibanjo before the last general elections remained unimplemented.
He urged the Governor to take time to read these reports as a basis for further genuine reconciliatory discussion.
