Northern group berates Governor Simon Lalong for withholding 100 months salaries, entitlements of New Nigerian Newspaper workers
The Northern Youth under the aegis of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Youth Vanguard North-West zone has berated the Chairman Northern Governors Forum Barrister Simon Lalong who also doubles as Director-General Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation for withholding over 100 months salaries and other entitlements of New Nigerian Newspapers workers.
In a statement on Saturday, in Kaduna reacting to media publications of the Newspaper workers Union begging the Governor for payment, Coordinator of the group Alhaji Ibrahim Ahmodu said “I wonder why the union of New Nigerian Newspapers will be begging Governor Lalong even after huge sums have been realized from sales of New Nigerian Newspapers Properties, Sardauna’s legacies, in the name of settling New Nigerian Newspaper workers, this money I understand is lying fallow in Northern Governors account, I also understand that the New Nigerian Newspaper management have furnished the Governor with all the details of the workers liabilities, all that Tinubu’s Campaign Director General Governor Simon Bako Lalong needs to do is approval for disbursement, but all that Governor Simon Bako Lalong cares for is Campaign for Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
“I wonder how Tinubu’s leutenants will convince us in the North to vote APC when they are this inhuman. I also understand 103 workers have died waiting for this money. This is sincerely unacceptable. We join our strength in calling on Governor Lalong to as a matter of urgency address this issue.”
Ahmodu added.
