A political group under the umbrella of the Akoko Political Movement has applauded Ondo State Governor, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, for offsetting the ₦1.4 billion backlog of gratuities owed to retired local government workers and primary school teachers in the state.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the group’s convener, Odudu Ayodele, popularly known as Manifold, the movement described the Governor’s action as a mark of responsible and people-oriented leadership.
Ayodele said the payment of the long-overdue benefits has brought great relief to pensioners who had waited anxiously for years to receive their entitlements.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa has once again shown that governance is about compassion and service to humanity,” Ayodele said.
“By clearing the ₦1.4 billion gratuity arrears, he has restored hope to many families who had been struggling after years of dedicated service to the state.”
He added that the gesture has further demonstrated the Governor’s commitment to fairness, transparency, and the welfare of all categories of workers in Ondo State.
According to him, the Akoko Political Movement stands firmly behind the Governor and will continue to support his administration’s efforts to improve the lives of citizens across the state.
