Benue: Why I Can’t Pay Salaries – Ortom | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom has explained why his administration is unable to pay salaries and sustain the state.

He said he could not pay salaries and sustain his state because the Federal Government has refused to support him in getting a loan from the bank to offset the arrears of salaries in Benue.

He made this known when he appeared on Arise TV on Wednesday morning.

According to him: “It is very simple, this is the blackmail of the federal government against me who is speaking the truth against the injustices that have been perpetrated against my state and against other parts of Nigeria.

“Go and ask them what they did in other states, did they not support the states in paying salaries.

“Just two weeks ago, I applied to collect a loan not from the federal government from the bank to offset the arrears of salaries that are inherited over 70 billion naira, the federal government rejected it because I refused to join them in the APC.

“If they had given me that money, I would have cleared it and then nobody would have been talking about issues of arrears of salaries. I have been paying salaries since 2018, when the stakeholders met and said I should pay and what is left is the arrears of salaries.

“And the federal government has refused to support me, they frustrate me. I have tried to borrow money to pay them but they said no.”
