The governor responds to some of the workers' agitations.

The main labour union in Kogi on Wednesday said workers would determine the next governor of the state come November 2.

“Workers have the power to determine the next governor of the state and would prove it in the state governorship election slated for November 2, if only the Independent National Electoral Commission would make our votes count.” Mr Edoka maintained his stance that the state government owed its workers between seven and 30 months salaries.

He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to release N30.8 billion, being the balance of the bailout to Kogi. He said, ”outside of the N50.8 billion former Governor Idris Wada applied for, N20 billion was released to Governor Bello.”
