The Statement reads” We the 349 councilors, 57 Chairmen, 57 Vice Chairmen and 57 Secretaries have decided to write an open letter to our amiable President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his intervention after writing several letters to our Governor, Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun on the non payment of our severance package and other allowances in which have proven abortive. Our requests are not far fetched, we are appealing for our severance package, two months and 10 days salaries, furniture allowances. It is so painful that in the history of Ogun State, our set is the only one denied Severance Package and furniture allowances. We are calling for the intervention of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu into this matter, some of ur colleagues are dying, some are not in good health and some really need the money for business and we believe the money is our constitutional right, the president should please help us to talk to our Governor to direct the payment of our severance package and other allowances. We have met with the Governor concerning the issue and he has made several promises to pay us but since then, we have not heard anything from him. We are loyal APC party members and we have contributed to the progress of this great party in the state, we do promote the party. We will be happy if the issue is resolved on time sir.
