Ijele disclosed this on Arise Television’s Morning Show, while noting that payment of salaries is not an achievement.

He accused Ododo of teaming up with his godfather and former governor of the state, Yahaya Bello, to mismanage the state.

According to Ijele, “I don’t know if you believe that payment of salaries and wages — even the holy books say labourers are worthy of their wages, and it’s a sin to withhold the wages of labourers.

“It’s not an achievement but a compulsory commitment on the side of the government. They can’t keep working if you are not paying them.

“I keep saying that what was Ododo’s manifesto in line with his performance? During the election, we were seeing him campaigning alongside former governor GYB. How many times did you see him talking? He never granted any interview.

“We are talking about the dividends of democracy and doing what is right for democracy. What is an achievement in paying salaries? We are talking about infrastructural development and insecurity in the state.”

He accused Ododo of failure in fighting insecurity across Kogi State.

Ijele insisted that the SDP has managed the affairs of the opposition in the state.
