Disclose accurate figure of Kogi State workforce, wage bill — PDP challenges Gov Ododo
The Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has challenged Governor Usman Ododo to make full disclosure of the state’s total workforce and wage bill.
The state chapter of the party argued that such transparency is essential for citizens to better understand the state’s financial management and administrative practices.
In a statement issued by the state publicity secretary, Alhaji Tijani Aruwa, PDP criticised the current administration for a lack of transparency, likening the state’s governance to that of a “secret agency.”
The party expressed concern that citizens remain largely uninformed about the financial activities and decisions that affect their lives.
Aruwa said: “The people of Kogi State deserve to know the truth about their government’s financial dealings. Governor Ododo must provide accurate figures regarding the state workforce and the total wage bill. This information is crucial for accountability and to ensure that public funds are utilised effectively.”
PDP further lamented Governor Ododo’s extravagant spending, noting he has reportedly spent over two billion naira on renovating his own office.
The party drew parallels between Ododo and his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, suggesting that the current administration’s approach to governance is not significantly different.
“We urge citizens not to be misled by claims of salary payments, highlighting that Kogi State reportedly has one of the lowest numbers of civil servants at both the local and state levels. The administration appears to be run by a select group prioritising their interests over the welfare of citizens.
“It is imperative that the government provide comprehensive public disclosure of its financial activities and the true state of the workforce. Only then can we begin to restore trust and accountability in our governance,” he added.
