“Let me make it abundantly clear that the criminal diversion of this latest release will be resisted.

The government officials who are directly or remotely connected with the application of this new release must ensure workers’ salaries, pensions and arrears are paid without further delay.

“If anything contrary is done in the handling of the fund, we will ensure full recovery of the last kobo.  This will be done once our government is voted into office.

All those involved in such criminal diversion of the Paris refund or any other funds meant for the welfare of the workers and pensioners will be pursued, arrested and prosecuted”, Adeleke stressed.
