According to a statement by Semiu Okanlawon , the Director Bureau of Communication and Strategy, office of the governor, Rauf Aregbesola ,it is a cheap attempt at making a mockery of the salary issue
My attention has been drawn to a tweet by a member of Upper chamber of the National Assembly Senator Ben Murray Bruce of the Peoples Democratic Party from Bayelsa saying he will not reject the alleged hefty pay for members of the National Assembly but collect it and donate to Osun workers.
It is saddening and tragic that Mr. Murray Bruce whom many had accorded a lot of respect is too early in the day joining the fray of politicisation and trivialising the salary issue affecting more than half of the states of the federation in this ridiculous manner.
While Nigerians are in hot debate over the alleged jumbo pay and the mood of the country Murray Bruce seems to have turned the plight of Nigerian workers to a thing of an entertainment.
Of all the states in the federation who are battling to pay salaries as a result of the precarious economic situation his party the PDP threw Nigeria into why is it that it is Osun he wants to take his pay to? This is certainly playing to the gallery and nothing but a mockery in the faces of Nigerian workers and not only of Osun extraction. It is not only wicked but ungodly to play politics with the suffering of the people.
If the Senator’s conscience tells him his pay is too high especially in the face of the prevailing economic predicament of Nigeria the most honourable thing to do is to lead a protest for reduction and not a self serving philanthropy only in the direction of Osun workers.
This guy sure has plans for 2019 presidential race. He is so active on social media these days. Tho this particular move is commendable. Let it be real...I mean his love for a better Nigeria. Let it not be for 2019 only.

Well d governor is correct, rather than accept the cash n donate, lead a protest for reduction of dat ridiculous amount.
ReplyDelete7 months arrears salary? How are they coping? Personally I don't think what Senator Ben is trying to do is bad..if he genuinely means it. Now isn't that patriotism! Maybe he chose Osun because there is possibility that Osun state is dear to him or their case is pathetic.
ReplyDeleteNaija which way!
ReplyDeleteNah only God fit help Naija ohhh
ReplyDeleteThere's something fishy about this man! He's not doing the right thing! If he donates his share dis year, will he still continue?!
ReplyDeleteI think Ben should stay out of Twitter and social network, whether his course is right or not
ReplyDeleteThe people of osun state are starving/dying. Which one of us can work for 3months without pay talk less of 7months? Even if he leads a protest, the people of osun won't still get paid. So why not just donate d money to them and end their misery... I support d senator plz.
ReplyDeleteGo on Bruce! Don't mind this stupid gov. who has no point

Emeh change ur headline biko, don't be vexed...Ben Bruce shudnt av donated his allowance to workers, it's an insult to workers to know a single man's allowance can pay more Dan 30% workers salary, its a slap on d face of workers....
Wat insult, when they're oredy dying of hunger?
DeleteI dnt expect aregbesola nt to pay salaries,wt all his bragging.
ReplyDeleteThey're just being arrogant. They don't need his donation bcos he's PDP but they collected donations from CAN & other Non-governmental orgs. They had better collect before they die of hunger.
