Bayelsa state, senator-elect, Ben Murray Bruce has stated that the
hottest place in hell should be reserved for Nigerian governors who have
failed to pay the salaries of their workers.
Murray-Bruce who is chairman of Silverbird Group stated this in a
series of tweets against the conduct of governors on his official
Twitter page. “The hottest place in hell should be reserved for
Governors who live large at public expense while workers with children
have not been paid!,” he wrote.
It would be recalled that Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo, Rauf
Aregbesola of Osun, Isa Yuguda of Bauchi are some of the governors who
fall into this category.
“As far as I’m concerned, until all state workers are paid their
salary, no governor, no commissioner, no special adviser should collect
salary or allowance,” Murray-Bruce stated.
Murray-Bruce also stated that: “It’s unacceptable for a governor who
inherited a surplus from his predecessor to leave debt for the incoming
governor and still want pension for life.”
He noted that he would push for the removal of immunity clause when
the 8th Assembly gets underway, adding that, he was not in politics for
the money.
“I’m not going to the senate to make money. I have much more
than I need. I’m going there to serve God by fighting for the good of
Nigerians.”
He then said: “Political parties arent your agent of change. These
guys breath in PDP and breath out APC. NASS must Remove Immunity Clause
for real change.
