Surprisingly, the organised labour in Kogi state through the ‘Honourable’ chairman decided to partner with the criminals in condemning the move. This is coming in response to a publication by Kogi Reports where the Chairman of the organised labour called the governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, a backstabber.
First of all, I’ll take the Chairman by his diction. Before you can call someone a backstabber, the person must have selfishly breached an agreement without your consent. In another word, a traitor. From the meeting the governor had with the organised labour, the subject matter was majored on empathising with them and to know their plights.
This was successfully done and their demands were agreed upon. Now, where in the demand was it stated that the governor SHOULD not weed living ghosts??? If nowhere, then the Chairman who spoke on behalf of his executives should be checked, they could be actively involved in running ghost ministries.
If flushing out ghost workers makes the governor a backstabber, then I suggest he should start being a front stabber for the benefit of bonafide workers of the state who have suffered horribly in the past administration for the sin they no nothing about.
Corruption ate satisfactorily, the fabrics of our dear state because no one had made it a point of call to scrutinize the database to distinguish between the alive and the walking dead. Now that fate has beamed a smile of home at us, Kogi state must then change and flow towards the new direction.
Bonafide workers should as a matter of necessity cooperate and fill the forms so provided by the government, so that they can be vindicated.
