The Osun state government has described as ‘mockery’ the gesture of
Senator Ben Murray Bruce to donate his wardrobe allowance to the public
workers in the state who have not been paid their salaries for more than
seven months.
Semiu Okanlawon , the Director Bureau of
Communication and Strategy, office of the governor, Rauf Aregbesola in
his reaction to the gesture, questioned the choice of the All
Progressives Congress, APC-ruled state by the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP senator.
Read his reactions below:
My attention has
been drawn to a tweet by a member of Upper chamber of the National
Assembly Senator Ben Murray Bruce of the Peoples Democratic Party from
Bayelsa saying he will not reject the alleged hefty pay for members of
the National Assembly but collect it and donate to Osun workers.
It
is saddening and tragic that Mr. Murray Bruce whom many had accorded a
lot of respect is too early in the day joining the fray of
politicisation and trivialising the salary issue affecting more than
half of the stars of the federation in this ridiculous manner.
While
Nigerians are in hot debate over the alleged jumbo pay and the mood of
the country Murray Bruce seems to have turned the plight of Nigerian
workers to a thing of an entertainment.
Of all the states in the
federation who are battling to pay salaries as a result of the
precarious economic situation his party the PDP threw Nigeria into why
is it that it is Osun he wants to take his pay to? This is certainly
playing to the gallery and nothing but a mockery in the faces of
Nigerian workers and not only of Osun extraction. It is not only wicked
but ungodly to play politics with the suffering of the people.
If
the Senator’s conscience tells him his pay is too high especially in
the face of the prevailing economic predicament of Nigeria the most
honourable thing to do is to lead a protest for reduction and not a self
serving philanthropy only in the direction of Osun workers.
