“If there can be departures and arrivals in the group? It’s still possible in football, I can’t say.

We recalls that PDP a statement by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan rejected the judgement and queried how Uzodinma who came fourth could be declared as the winner of the election.

Keyamo urged the members of the opposition party to apologise to Nigerians, adding that their reaction was not only objective but ‘extremely provocative’

“PDP is an opposition that takes the benefit from the system; from a particular institution and they don’t want to take the downs from that same institution.

“The same court that gave them victories and excluded us entirely in Rivers State, excluded us entirely in Zamfara State; is that the same kangaroo court?

“How can democrats come out and make such very inciting statement? I think it is an irresponsible statement.

“It doesn’t even deserve a response and they need to apologise to Nigerians and to the Supreme Court; it’s extremely provocative,” Keyamo added.

The Benue State Government on Friday gave clarification on reports that the state Governor, Samuel Ortom has approved the sum of N30, 999 as new minimum wage for workers.

Recall that Ortom’s Special Adviser on Labour Matters, Hon. Ode Enyi had made the disclosure yesterday.

However, Professor Anthony Ijohor, the Secretary to the State Government said negotiation was still ongoing with Labour Unions.

In a statement he signed and sent to DAILY POST, Ijohor assured that the negotiation would soon be over and it will be in the interest of workers.

The statement reads: “It is necessary to state that negotiations between Benue State Government and labour unions on implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage have not yet been concluded.

“The member of the State Government Committee on the New Minimum Wage who posted on social media that the negotiations were concluded and approval given did so in haste and error, and has since been told to retract the report.

“We wonder why the committee member rushed to the media with the report when we and labour leaders were still meeting to agree on the new minimum wage for workers of the state.

“Our administration has presented its proposal and labour leaders have given assurance that they would study the proposal and get back to government.

“We call for patience as negotiations on the new minimum wage will soon be concluded in the best interest of all Benue people.”
