I have been constrained to use this as a last option since all attempt to make those involve see reasons to live up to their expectations has failed.
About two years ago, colleague of ours who hailed from Abia State died on the line of duty.At his burial in Abia State ,the State Governor T A Orji was represented by his then Commissioner of Information who promised on behalf of his principal to donate a... sum of N500,000 to the family of our late friend who has three teenage sons.
Two years after the promise,the poor widow has made a total of seven trips to Abia State from her base in Lagos atimes spending days to collect the money without any success.
Between the ACCOUNTANT GENERAL AND SUBSEQUENT COMMISSIONERS OF INFORMATION in the State ,no one can trace which of them have cornered N500,000 promised a dead man who made his State proud while alive.
Funny enough all the trips made by this widow to Abia was at the invitation of official only for her to be told they were still working on the voucher (why ask her to leave her three children) to come to Abia Seven times when you knew you would not pay her. .I was reliably informed that some of the mischievous officials in Abia were even making certain unprintable demands off this poor woman for demanding what the amiable and benevolent Governor of Abia State has willingly approved .I have solicited for the assistance of some of my very honest friends who work with Governor T A Orji to help this woman get this money but I guess there is a limit as to what they can do.
I felt so bad when I called the lady this morning in the new year only to be told that the ABIA STATE government has not redeemed its pledge just few months to the end of Gov T A Orji's tenure.. What is N500,000 to a whole ABIA STATE Government.
I have asked the woman to forgo the money and put everything before God. Everyone of us will reap what we sow. We will all account for our deeds before our creator.
I totally absolve the Governor from this mess. He's is to give a directive for his lieutenants to carry out. But it does not speak well of his government.
ALL THOSE WHO HAVE A HAND IN DEPRIVING THIS WIDOW AND HER INNOCENT KIDS THIS BENEVOLENCE WILL MEET SAME FATE IN JESUS NAME.
I AM GOING AHEAD TO CIRCULATE THIS INFORMATION AMONG ALL OUR COLLEAGUES,MAYBE THE GOVERNOR WILL FINALLY GET TO READ IT
