Rev. Samuel Uche Advises Nigerians Not To Re-Elect Govs Who Owe Salaries, Pensions

Rev. Samuel Uche

The Prelate of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Most Rev. Samuel Uche, has advised Nigerians not to re-elect governors who owe workers’ salaries, pensions and gratuities of retirees.

Rev Uche, who gave the advice in a chat with newsmen today, Friday in Umuahia, capital of Abia State , said that such governors do not deserve to be re-elected in 2019.

“It is painful that some governors in Nigeria cannot pay their workers’ salaries as well as pensions and gratuities of the retirees. Such governors should endeavour to pay workers their salaries. They should also pay pensions and gratuities.

“If they fail to do so, they should not smell the Government House in 2019.”

The clergyman advised the electorate against selling their votes, saying:“people should not collect rice and sell their votes. Rather, they should elect credible people who will care for their well being.

“We should vote for the future of our children. We should not allow ourselves to be influenced by money.”
