Kogi State Public Service Joint Negotiating Council has felicitated with Governor Yahaya Bello on the victory of his party, the APC.
Chairman of the Council, Camrade Alemeru Olusegu who spoke to our Reporter on Wednesday, described the victory as well deserved.
The labour leader who is also the state Chairman of Agricultural Union commended the orderly conduct of the election in most parts of Kogi state, attributing the peace to the Governor’s disposition to security of lives and property.
According to him, leadership is ordained by God and gives to whom he wishes at his own time.
Comrade Alemeru enjoined the newly elected leaders to work hard to earn the confidence of the electorate to justify the overwhelming mandate.
“I hereby, call on the newly elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and all elected national Assembly members to do all within their reach to reduce the sufferings of the masses, viewing from the economic hardship facing everyone, let there be food on the table, clothing and shelter”.
“When a father can no longer meet these basic obligations, then something is fundamently wrong within the government circle”, he said.
The Joint Negotiating Chairman also thanked the Governor for implementing part of the workers promotions, saying the measure is a demonstration of a responsive government.
The labour leader however, urged the government to reciprocate the gesture by cash backing the remaining workers promotions in the spirit of justice and fair play.
He explained that a situation where some enjoy promotions financially and others do not, does not protray justice to all.
According to him, the cash backing will again, show the Governor’s love for workers, noting that the implementation of the rest promotions up to 2018 as promised would be further seen as matching words with action.
