ABEOKUTA—Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosun has been enjoined to pay the workers’ salaries and other allowances as at when due.

The Imam, University of Abuja, Prof. Taofiq AbdulAzeez stated this, weekend, during this year’s annual Ramadan lecture organised by the state government.

While delivering a lecture on Sustaining the gains of the 2015 general elections: Muslims on calls, the cleric warned the governor against neglecting the people that voted him into power.

Prof. Abdulazeez, who described the 2015 general elections as a watershed compared the elections with the 1993 elections which produced late business mogul, Chief MKO Abiola.

He said the emergence of President  Muhammadu Buhari as the President of the country has led to the emergence of most of the governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He further explained that most of the governors would not have won the elections if the APC had not fielded Buhari.

The cleric who made reference to one of the foremost Islamic leaders, Late Umar Khatab, urged governor Amosun to ensure that the sweat of the workers should not get dried before they are paid, saying, that is  the surest guarantee of sustainance of the gains of the 2015 General elections.

In his remarks, Amosun pledged to continue in his mission to rebuild, claiming that  the APC had been fulfilling the promises made to the electorate.

He said his first four years were full of people-oriented programmes, claiming that none of his programmes was done without input of the people. He said the deductions and allowances being owed would be paid soon.
