The Spokesperson, Ogun State Councilors Forum, Ogun East Senatorial District, Hon. Abass Olanrewaju and former leader of the Legislative Council, Ijebu North Local Government and others during the press briefing held in Ijebu Ode to demand payment of their severance allowance.
Former councillors and other political office holders who served in Ogun State local governments between 2021 and 2024 have appealed to Governor Dapo Abiodun to approve and release their outstanding severance entitlements.
The ex-councillors lamented that the failure of the government to pay up their severance allowance has impacted negatively on their welfare and well-being.
They said not less than 25 of their colleagues have died because of not having the wherewithal to take care of their health.
They have therefore called on President Bola Tinubu, the national and state leadership of the ruling party and its governorship candidate for Ogun State, Sen Solomon Adeola fondly called Yayi, to prevail on Abiodun to approve the payment of their statutory emoluments without further delays.
