Take only those good sides of past administrations along with your plans to help your government and jettison the bad ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akinola spoke in Ado Ekiti on Friday at a prayer session organised by the pensioners \u201cto hand the new government in the state led by Oyebanji over to God for guidance and direction to succeed,\u201d saying such was part of the elderly people\u2019s way of assisting the new governor.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThis state needs to be rebuilt in the sense that many things have gone wrong. Ideally, this state should be a model for other states in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/16\/fifa-suspends-india-football-federation-over-undue-influence-from-third-parties\/\">federation<\/a>. Is it in terms of human resources or other natural ? We are well endowed but unfortunately, we have had the problem of leadership that could effectively manage the resources for the development and excellence of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur expectation of the new governor is to bring development and peace to this state, to help us in terms of security, especially for our pensioners. We want him to face our problems squarely. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/05\/20\/osun-pensioners-berate-gov-oyetola-over-refusal-to-pay-entitlements\/\">pensioners<\/a>, we need his impact urgently. He should attend to us immediately because we are hungry and dying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have humongous arrears of unpaid gratuities, about N40bn that past governments have refused to attend to. Local government pensioners were last paid gratuities in 2012, some of which are still outstanding, while state pensioners were last paid in 2013.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Akinola, the government is owing local government pensioners seven months\u2019 arrears of pension while state pensioners are owed three months\u2019 arrears of pension.<\/p>\n<p>These, he said, were beside the non-adjustment of their pensions.<\/p>\n<p>He added. \u201cThe government owes us over six months of unpaid check-off dues, i.e., deductions from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/10\/14\/atiku-tambuwal-responds-to-rumored-suspension-of-pdp-campaign\/\">pension<\/a>. We were last paid in March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will embarrass you that we have pensioners who are still receiving N4, 000 a month as pension in Ekiti, whereas the Nigerian Constitution stipulates that pensions should be reviewed every five years or any time the salary of workers is being reviewed. Pensioners in Ekiti are yet to witness the last minimum wage adjustment of 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these things are affecting our members in terms of welfare and feeding. An average pensioner has one illness or the other to manage, and we need money to access medical facilities and buy drugs. If you don\u2019t eat well, even if you have the drugs, how will they be effective?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the close of the Fayemi administration on October 15, we had lost over 300 pensioners to death for his refusal to pay our gratuities and pensions. We have more than 400 bedridden because they cannot access medical facilities and, as well, lack money to properly take care of themselves. It is unfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Akinola added, \u201cFormer Governor Kayode Fayemi began non-payment of gratuities to pensioners during his first tenure. His successor, Ayodele Fayose built on what he met on the ground, and Fayemi returned to consolidate it. Oyebanji should look at this as a matter of urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pensioners in Ekiti have begged Governor Biodun Oyebanji to hit the\u00a0ground running to bring development, peace and happiness to the state by correcting past ills and bad governance by past administrations in the state.
