Pensioners stage fresh protest as Aregbesola receives N6.314bn refund




Pensioners in Osun State under the aegis of Forum of 2011/2012 Pensioners on Wednesday staged a fresh protest to demand payment of the arrears of their pensions and gratuities. This fresh protest came just a day after Governor Rauf Aregbesola confirmed that he had received N6.314bn as the second tranche of the Paris Club loan refund.

The Chairman of the forum, Mr Omoniyi Ilesanmi, who led the protest said the governor should use the money to pay the entitlements of pensioners. He said the pensioners were being owed one-year full pension arrears and gratuities from 2008 to 2012.

The pensioners stormed the State Civil Service Secretariat at Abere and blocked part of the road but they allowed workers and others to go in and out of the place. Armed with placards with various inscriptions the retired workers sang anti-government songs and rained abuses on the governor.

Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, alleged that an agent of the Federal Government whose name he did not disclose, offered him while in detention, to secede with the 5⃣ Igbo states but that he rejected❌ the offer because it did not constitute the complete territory of Biafra.
