PASSIONATE PLEA FOR PAYMENT OF SEVERANCE ALLOWANCE OF 7TH ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
Please refer to the above subject matter.
We are the Honorable members of the Ondo State 7th Assembly that
served from 2011-2015. We were inaugurated in June 2011 and our tenure elapsed on May 31, 2015.
We will like to commend you for your giant strides that have so far brought visible democratic dividends to the doorsteps of Ondo State people. As a matter of fact, the feat you have achieved in the area of infrastructural development is unmatched in the history of Ondo State.
It is also worthy of mention to appreciate you for given hope to the
the hitherto neglected and abandoned people of our state. Succinctly, we can boldly state that you have added value to governance. Civil servants that were owed seven (7) month salary arrears have since forgotten the agonizing experience as you have paid six (6) out of the seven (7) month salaries owed civil servant by the immediate past administration. You have also done very well by ensuring that his gesture has not in any way effect their promotion as they are being promoted as and when due. Space constraint will not allow us reel out all your workers’ and peoples’ friendly programmes and projects.
Your Excellency, as we earlier posited that you have put smile on the faces of the civil servant and former political office holders by ensuring the payment of the salaries owed them by the immediate past administration in Ondo State. We humbly wish to inform you that our statutory severance/gratuity payments are yet to be paid since we left office in June 2015.
We truly acknowledge the fact that the situation we found ourselves today is not in any way your making; but we can only humbly and passionately plead with you to give consideration and kind approval to the payment of our severance/gratuity benefits. This request definitely go a long way to
reaffirm your people friendly disposition. While thanking you for your kind consideration of our request, Your Excellency should please accept the assurances of our esteemed regards.
Please find attached the names of all the affected 7th Assembly members.
Yours sincerely,
Hon. Chief Gbemibade Folagbade
For : Affected 7th Assembly members
