Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, has reiterated that his administration will continue to deliver developmental projects and improve the wellbeing of Rivers State people, particularly, pensioners, till the very last day of his tenure.
Wike made the clarification following repeated insinuations by the All Progressives Congress, APC and other political rivals in the state, who alleged that resources meant for the state were spent on frivolities, while these senior citizens languished in penury. He said: “Our State pays not less than 1.8Billion Naira every month for pensioners. People told me that there are news that the government do not pay pensioners. I cannot spend 1.8Billion Naira every month to pay pensioners and you will say I don’t pay pensioners, is not true.”
