The governorship candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) Olufemi Ajadi has promised to clear the N68 billion pension and gratuity of retired civil servants from the N500 billion 2023 budget if elected Governor on Saturday.

Ajadi who spoke at a media parley on Wednesday with journalists in Ogun state stressed the pensioners have worked tirelessly and have contributed to the economic growth of the state.

He added that he sees the pensioners as the number one citizens of the state saying that their gratuity will be cleared and the remaining 432bn will be used to develop Ogun State.

Ajadi also stressed that he has no plan of aligning with the Governorship candidate of APC, Dapo Abiodun and that of PDP, Ladi Adebutu ahead of the Saturday election.

He said “No negotiation, nobody has the funds to buy my party. I, Olufemi Ajadi can tell you that all the politicians have no funds to buy my party so far I am still standing as an ambassador for the Nigerian youths.

“I can never sell my right, I still stand on my feet. We are not negotiating with any political party and we are not ready to negotiate.”
