A governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State, Mr. Muhammad Jibrin Barde, has decried the non-payment of salaries and allowances of workers in the state civil service by Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, noting that workers are now starving and dying over the callousness and insensitivity of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led administration in the state.
In a statement signed by the Head of his Media Office in Gombe, Mr. Jonathan Justice, The aspirant wondered why the meager pay that are due civil servants in the state are being delayed in spite of the billions accruable to the state in forms of federal allocations, bail outs and other refunds coupled with internally generated revenues that goes into the state coffers.
While sympathizing with the people on their plights occasioned by the recklessness and insensitivity of the Dankwambo led administration, Barde urged the people to stand up for their rights by making good use of their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) in order to vote the PDP out in the forthcoming election in the state and install a sensitive, humane and compassionate governor who would feel their pulse and ensure that all that are due them and more are paid as at when due.
