The National Union Coalition of Aggrieved Pensioners in Benue has appealed to the state government to pay them their pension arrears for 33 months.

“We were paid the November 2018 arrears on Sept. 9, 2020 and on Nov. 18, 2020 we were paid December 2018 pensions.“On July 17, 2021, we were paid March 2019 and on Sept. 10, 2021 we were paid April 2019. Since then, there has been no further payment till date,” the union said “It is saddening to note that we are dying on a daily basis, as most of us are on special diet and drugs, but cannot even afford the funds to maintain ourselves.“If this inhumanity to man meted to us persists, we may be forced or tempted to use our numerical strength and adopt a different strategy to our problem,” the union warned.

“Since then I have been paying the sum of N700 Million to the pensioners in the state. Out of this amount, N300 million is paid to the local government pensioners and N400 million to state pensioners every month.

ClassicalKaccy Ortom has spent the pensioners fund on media war against herdsmen .

This week being the end of Week .Gov Fiom fiom . Unfortunately for the poor people of Benue. He will talk about his inability to perform Marital duties 🤦🏾‍♂️ due to Fulani Herdsmen. This is a Governor 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

These are the kind of people OfficialPDPNig are comfortable with. Performing governors like: David Umahi (Ebonyi) Bello Matawalle (Zamfara) Benedict Ayade (Cross River) They are never appreciated till they left the party. Seriously we need a new opposition party.

Dear Benue pensioners, pls be more patient. Your fiom fiom governor is still waging war against Fulani herdsmen. He would soon be done 🥱

Fulani herdsmen broke into the state treasury that's why

Too bad Otorm, you are always on the news criticizing wrong doing and you haven't seen owing pensioner 33 months as injustice?

Allocation period don dey near. Fiam Fiam 1.5km

Deadlinechic I just wanted to tag you to this tweet for no reason at all.
