Pensioners in Taraba State on Thursday announced the commencement of a 7-day prayer and fasting to God against Governor Darius Ishaku’s senatorial bid during the 2023 general elections.
This is according to the pensioners’ chairman, Comrade Silas Jafta who disclosed this to our correspondent on Thursday morning said, the decision was to appeal to God to stop the governor from continuing his poor leadership style in the Senate after his abortive eight years as governor.
Jafta explained that the plight to which the governor has subjected pensioners was inhuman enough for them to seek God’s presence to stop the governor’s political career in the state.
“We have resolved to embark on a 7 days prayer to appeal to God to ensure that Governor Darius Ishaku loses the Senate position. Our decision is due to the inhuman situation the governor has subjected us to.
Jafta further explained that For ten years now, we have not been paid our entitlements as retirees of the Taraba state government, some of our members have died because of the situation, we have written severally to the government through the secretary to the state government (SSG), and the speaker of the state house of assembly but the governor seems not to mind our plight.
