Retirees from primary schools across 25 local government areas of the state on Monday barricaded the Delta State seat of power over nonpayment of pension.

The retirees who wore black attires carried placards of different inscriptions such as “Wicked Okowa pay us our pensions,’ and ‘Okowa you are owing the leaving and the

dead’ among others.They also blocked the popular Anwai road causing heavy gridlock along the road as many of them sat on the road with mat, shouting “Only Okowa will address us.”

Refusing to pay retirees their entitlements is callous & devilish. Teachers are some of the most passionate & dedicated people in the civil service, yet they're about the least paid...and to deny them the peanuts as and when due is nothing but cruelty.

Okowa is coming out for vice president imagine a state where workers are not paid what reputation do you have to rule Nigeria shame.

Why this Okowa dey remind me of one horror film of those days? Na wah for me o!🤷

Economist IAOkowa pay them you haven’t being saving money now what have you being doing with it. What income did you generate from the state. What new did you do with Delta state money. You have the guts to talk to Obi about governance and management. Go and apologize and learn

This is what Abia state government retirees suppose do oooo.

See the way people are just suffering . Other are there lavishing twhat is meant to be for many people Nigeria. 2023 this is where the end comes. realMalikAdo mainigeria Fela Bandits Arewa Cut1 Delta State Okowa NNPC

After collecting money from fed. Govt. Wickedness

Those people talking bad about Okowa should listen to this speech.

Sponsored by APC.

May this never happen to federal retirees. Amen. May God not allow those who do such a thing in their states to be our federal leaders. Amen

Atiku is coming...

This is synonymous with PDP

Couldn't take care of your state, you want nigeria

Imagine someone running for the seat of the v.p of this country can't even pay pensions...

This man has made Atiku to even fail this election because you don't expect this same people to also cast their vote for atiku/okowa comes 2023. Here is the first protest and listened to the sweet songs they compose for okowa

Abeg who get video of plane ✈️ wey Dey go Nigeria 🇳🇬? I want play with my village people small

This are people employ by opposition they're not delta state pensioners.

CAPT__Vincentt 🌚

Charity begin at home!!!

Okowa will not pay because he want to use the money to sponsors Atiku presidency. Are southerners not foolish? Atiku OKOWA Must not win. Let us punish them.

Okowa gave all the money to Atiku!!

A governor that cannot pay retirees in his state how will will he pay retirees in the country. What a shame.

Govt should pay these people please

IAOkowa alaye wa shalaye

This is the okowa vying for the office of the vice president !!!wait are we so used to shege that we can’t even get angry anymore

This is wrong, almost all governors are guilty of this.

Omgggg pls I am begging you vote for Atiku

THE GOAT WANT TO BE VICE PRESIDENT😡

Isn't this an aspiring VP's state!!!! God, help us!!!

obidatti is the way

Who's the governor again?

Propaganda cannot help you people to win election, desist from the lies. All these are politically motivated protesters, Delta State Govt is not owing pensioners

And Okowa had the guts to condemn Obi for saving money, a man who never owed any salary, pension, gratuity. Yet Okowa will leave office with debts.

Same delta that receives 142b (13%) derivation?

If their Governor cannot provide a basic constitutional duty of ensuring the welfare of his people,what manner of Vice President does he want to become next year?

Okowa is the one people will still vote to go and coordinate Nigeria's economy as a vice president.

IAOkowa we bless God

After he will be speaking big grammar, oil state can't pay pension. Road u can't build, no meaningful development, u will be comparing urself with wike, doing his people well. mumuokowa

The governor borrow ur money for the presidential campaign

But Okowa is competent na

Even if it’s not true make una well done na now una know say okowa no pay una pension

Why always delta state na ?

Okowa right now..

emmaikumeh refers to him as Mr Project.🙂

What a shame! You neglect all elderly widows and pensioners! While spending billions to campaign for what you will never deliver!

Warning - Trouble looms in Delta state of Nigeria where Pensioners and workers are Not Paid by aspiring Vice President to Atiku Abubakar of PDP against 2023 and as much as N262 Billions in Debt. What did the Governor do with People's Money

That's Okowa that collected huge Money from Federal Government, he can not pay retirees their peanut and he want to be President. May God help us amen.

Werey dey use money for Vp election

When exactly will pensioners get their funds without protest? Well, it's not so surprising for governments that owe salaries

Go home, your children will still vote incompetence

What is he doing with pensioners money

Delta people don suffer in the hands of okowa

Our leaders are incorrigibly weekeed, something that belongs to the senior citizens,you hoard it, how do you leaders sleep at night huh?on Sunday una go go church and Friday (jumaat) hypicrrtes

wayo government doing what they are good at.. Some police retirees also crying to Nigerian government since 2013 because of unpaid gratuity not even pension,yet the government doesn't care.

What happened to the ₦500bn the state governor released some weeks ago?

So your governor owing pension and he is canvassing for votes.

No normal human being will do this to the aged. It is time to look away from the old guards. Let's forge a BETTER Nigeria.

And Okowa will still come and lie

Vice President in the mud
