Anambra pensioners reject Governor Obiano’s Christmas bags of Rice, demand their reti - Edoman - 12-10-2020 Anambra pensioners reject Governor Obiano’s Christmas bags of Rice, demand their retirement benefits are paid instead Retirees in Anambra State have rejected the annual bags of rice given to them by the state governor, Willie Obiano, saying all they want is their retirement benefits paid or nothing more. According to them, the bags of Rice given to them every Christmas was a ''Greek gift''. The state chairman of Nigeria Union of Pensioners, Dr Anthony Ugozor, who spoke to newsmen on behalf of other pensioners in the state on Wednesday December 9, said that the last gratuity that was paid to them was in 2017. He said if they were paid their gratuity, they will have no need to be collecting bags of rice from the state government every year and that they will have enough money to buy the type of rice they want. Quote:“They give us rice at the end of every year, but the gift of rice is not constitutional. It is a gift which the government is not mandated to give. |
