I wonder when true democracy will become the MOU in Abia State.

Ona say ona mumu never do, 28 months and ona still vote for am again

28-month? Governor I hail o!!!

That is good, I wander why all this state gov don't want to pay pensioners.

They should not complain after collecting gallon of kerosene each to re-elect same governor that couldn’t even pay workers salaries. Smh

This is wickedness of the highest order .

That's what they supposed to do... The government is making live miserable for people, especially workers

Useless man. He's only after drinking. Abalamwo. That's his slangs and they cartels

Didn't they get kerosene?

So sad

How did this guy got re-elected?, am also sure no infrastructural development in d state. Soon my eastern brothers will be shouting PMB failed. Can we start telling our governors that they have failed us?. God pls come to our aid in this country.

Abia abia abia,

And to hear this same man was re-elected. It is well with Abians.

Kerosene state

These Governors should please pity these old men and women.

What's the difference between Yahaya Bello and this Ikpeazu

Nigerian can tolerate nonsense...28 months of no income...outrageous.

Very bad governor can't the people impeach him.

Cc hartng Dede please can your principal consider the plight of these pensioners 28 months is way too much. Thank you
