Pensioners under the public service in Taraba State have placed a curse on Governor Darius Ishaku for non payment of their entitlements for eight years.
The pensioners led by their chairman,Kefas Katan who took their protest to Government House I’m Jalingo on Thursday said they were blocked by security personnel with no government official coming out to address them.
He said the government was owing pensioners N30 billion for eight years.
Kefas said ‘ Since Governor Ishaku has refused to pay us our entitlements,we have resolved to appeal to God to ensure that the governor and those advising him not to pay us our entitlements should see hell in their future endeavours.
” Our consequential adjustment arising from the implementation of the minimum wage for civil servants in 2019,our 33 percent pension increase approved since 2014 , the pension and gratuity are still not paid”
The union calls for prompt payment of pensions and gratuities, enrollment of over 1000 retirees for pension , implementation of the 33 percent pension increase and implementation of the consequential adjustment in pension and others
They prayed to God that in the event that the Governor failed to pay their entitlements he never actualise his senatorial bid
