Despite Owing Staff Several Months Salaries, Ifeanyi Ubah Spends Millions On Palliatives To Kickstart Gubernatorial Ambition

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial District at the National Assembly and Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil and Gas, has distributed palliatives worth millions of naira to the 21 local government areas of Anambra State to kickstart his gubernatorial election.

However, Ubah, who announced the distribution on Twitter, is yet to pay salaries of his employees, some for over two years.

One of his workers, who spoke with SaharaReporters, said they were currently being owed eight months salaries and there was no indication that the money would be paid anytime soon.

"We are owed salaries for eight months now.

"We are suffering and he is busy showing off on Twitter all because he wants to be governor,” he said.

Another worker, who also spoke with SaharaReporters, said, “I doubt if he has good advisers.

"He should try to pay off the over 1450 people working with him, most of whom he has owed salaries and wages for more than two years.”

A staff of Authority Newspaper, a media outfit owned by Uba, said they now borrowed money from family and friends to survive.

“My publisher, Ifeanyi Ubah, hasn't paid us in months, if not years. We now depend on people to survive.

“Let's not go near Capital Oil and his other companies, including his media group.

"I saw him advertising the distribution of palliatives to 21 LGAs in his state because he wants to be a governor, very sad,” he said.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
