Nigeria Voters Assembly commends Buhari over bail out to states

OLUSESAN LAOYE

The Nigeria Voters Assembly has commended President Buhari for bailing out states that are facing difficulties paying their workers’ salaries and meeting other obligations.

The organization through its President, Comrade Moshood Erubami, also described the gesture as an indication that the president is ready to help the masses and prepared to put smiles on their faces.

He pointed out that what made the voters assembly happier was the fact that the N713.7billion bailout fund will also help the states to defray the unpaid pension allowance, which has been major concern of the voters in the country.

Erubami was of the opinion that when the package is released, it would mitigate the painful conditions of workers and pensioners and boost the economy as traders and business houses will benefit from the buoyancy that will be enjoyed.

He further stated that the relief would be the beginning of the manifestation of the positive life saving changes that the president promised the people and manifestation of the good things that President Buhari promised, adding that this has once more proved that he meant well for the people and it would convince doubting Thomas’s who think that the new APC government would not do well for the masses.

According to the voters’ assembly leader, the president has also by this gesture, demonstrated capacity for democratic management of the country and permanently shut the wide mouth of opposition who have been playing politics with peoples’ lives over the unpaid salaries.

He argued that the way the opposition was casting aspersions on the government gave them out that they are ignorant of the reasons why the states are owing workers, pointing out that they pretended as if they don’t know the reasons why they were voted out during the last general elections, which according to him was due to the way they neglected and took them for a ride for the over 16 years they ruled the country.

“Life will definitely change for better from what presently obtains, as not only will the relief packages bring an end to the lingering crisis created by the paucity of fund to meet salary and pension obligations, the state’s high debt repayment will also reduce while current debt holding will be rescheduled for repayment over longer period, and the state will be able to access bail out loans which will be put into further productive system.”
