‘You are Brainless and Senseless’ – Gov. Amosun tells Angry Civil Servants
Governor of Ogun state, Ibikunle
Amosun, yesterday lashed out at aggrieved workers of the state civil
service who have threatened to go on strike over unpaid allowances and wages.
Amosun, at a town hall meeting organized by the Ministry of Budget and Planning at June 12 Cultural Centre, Abeokuta, insisted he would not
succumb to the demands of the workers.
According to him, it is insensitive of the
workers to be threatening to go on strike even when the economic recession is
biting hard on all states.
“We all know this, yet some are not using their
brains. They don’t have brains and they don’t know what they are doing. They
don’t have sense. I cannot give what I don’t have.
“Teachers alone collect N2
billion monthly. If you want to join politics go and resign, you can
then become card carrying member of political parties, you can start printing
posters if you want to contest” he said
Oh! Well, that’s a bit harsh. Should civil
servants go hungry with their families because Nigeria economy is in recession?
And to call them senseless is a senseless action, since you all politicians
were the same people who enjoyed alone when fuel price was sky high.
Oga abeg, no transfer aggression. If you can’t
cope with realities please resign your office honorably
