Miss Mariam Aliyu, a Kogi indigene who perhaps could no longer hold her grievances about the state of things in her state, has written Governor Yahaya Bello on several matters, especially the paltry inconsistent salary of primary school teachers in the state.
Miss Aliyu vented her concerns on Facebook, also alleging that people of the state are dying of cholera and other diseases because of lack of basic amenities.
Particularly, she queried the recent commendation of the Governor by the United Nations Women, as well as his 2023 Presidential ambition.
Read post:
People are dying of hunger in kogi state. People are dying of cholera and other diseases as a result of lack of basic amenities like suitable water and standard health care system.
Teachers get paid 35% of their salaries, a level 15 officer doesn’t even earn up to 50,000 monthly in kogi state.
The recently appointed female councilor’s salary is 295k now take 35% that’s what they are currently getting monthly. So what is there to be commended for by the UN Women ,absolutely nothing!!
I’m not trying to defame anyone here but this statements are from credible sources. This same Governor who can’t do the needful for his state, wants to campaign for presidential seat.
Fellow Nigerians please help me ask Alhaji Yahaya Bello to please explain to us all why he pays 35% to workers monthly ?
Please explain to us sir, what plans you have for kogi youths ? You covered up and tolerated the atrocities of commissioner Danga who raped and abused a mother in front of her son, you harassed, abused and attacked Natasha, destroying her properties for daring to challenge you.
You reserved the best elective position for the men, you attack and seize the voice of anybody who tries to question your authority? WHY?
You humiliate women and have absolutely no respect for human right and therefore undeserving of any commendation especially from the UN women.
On behalf of women who have been victims of your terror reign in kogi state, I write this open letter to ask you to have a rethink and an adjustment in your rule as every tenure has an end. Posterity never forgets!!! Remember!!
Mariam Aliyu
For the voiceless women in Kogi state!
