I honestly don’t know how people sleep when workers have not been paid – President Buhari

Workers:  President Muhammadu Buhari has lamented why some people, referring to governors could sleep when they have not paid their workers salaries.

He therefore vowed to deal with any leaders or public officers who embezzle public funds and deny workers their benefits.

The President made the vow on Friday when he received a delegation of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) from Benue State, led by Senator George Akume.

“I assure you that my main interest is all Nigerians in all parts of the country. Therefore, if anybody tries to create any impression that I prefer any group across ethnicity or religion, let him dare me by being caught red-handed stealing public funds. I will deal with him,’’

President Buhari said.

He assured the APC delegation that the Federal Executive Council had been monitoring the plight of workers across the country and utilisation of the bailout and Paris Club funds by some states.

According to him, the Federal Government’s bailout to states and the payment of Paris Club refunds to them were basically to alleviate the sufferings of the people.

Despite the bailout, several states still owe employees and pensioners, a development the President is unhappy about.

“I honestly don’t know how people sleep when workers have not been paid. The workers have to pay rent, buy food, send their children to school and they have healthcare to take care of,”

he lamented, describing misappropriation of the funds as unjust and unfair to workers.
