N70,000 New Minimum Wage: Don’t Fall Victim To Gov Obaseki’s Web Of Deceit, APC Guber Candidate Warns Edo Workers

Edo state APC guber candidate, Monday Okpebholo, on Thursday reacted to the N70,000 new minimum wage announced for workers in the state by Governor Godwin Obaseki calling it a Greek gift.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Okpebholo  said this  in a statement issued in Abuja by his media office on Thursday.

Recall that Governor  Godwin  Obaseki had on Sunday announced an upward review of the minimum wage for workers in the  state from N40,000 to N70,000.

The APC guber candidate  said he was convinced that  it was a political strategy to tilt the upcoming September governorship election in favour of  the PDP  guber   candidate, Asue Ighodalo.

He said, ‘Civil servants deserve a better deal from the State Government and not a Greek gift to emotionally  blackmail them to vote for a party that has failed the people of Edo state. There are no good schools, hospitals, roads, or housing for civil servants. These are the real issues.

Obaseki has failed by every standard and I am sure Edo people, especially the civil servants, know this. As a governor, my administration will behave differently. Beyond the minimum wage, we will look at other priority areas for civil servants like quality healthcare, housing, and proper transportation.

I call on Edo people not to be disturbed. Help is on the way. Our administration will right the many wrongs of the PDP administration and ensure that Edo state is governed with a human face. We deserve more and my administration will provide that’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
