Omotosho Pledges to Donate Pay to Aged, Less Privileged

Date: 2015-02-11

KWARA State governorship candidate of Labour Party, Dr. Mike Omotosho, Tuesday said he would donate his salary to the aged and the less privileged if voted to power.

Speaking during an interactive session with reporters Tuesday in Ilorin, Omotosho promised to prioritize the welfare of the aged, the less privileged and the handicapped within the society, as well as pensioners.

Omotosho, who is the North-Central Coordinator of Jonathan Actualization Movement (JAM) said, "I am making a commitment when elected governor of Kwara State for the four-year term to donate my entire salary as a contribution towards the social security scheme.

"And when I say we are donating, we are truly donating. It is not a kind of donation you will donate and you get it back using allowances. The social security is a priority because of the emphasis that we place on the aged, on the less privileged, on the pensioners and the handicapped within the society."

He said, "For starter, I am making a commitment when elected governor of Kwara State, for the four year term to donate my entire salary as a contribution towards the social security scheme.

"And when I say we are donating, we are truly donating, it is not a kind of donation you will donate and you get it back using allowances. The social security is a priority because of the emphasis that we place on the aged, on the less privileged, on the pensioners and the handicapped within the society.

"But to a large extent, the bulk of the problem that we are facing are borne out of the perceived insecurity of our future. The greed that we experience in governance cannot be unrelated to that insecurity of what happens after we leave office.

"So if our people understand that their basic needs would be taken care off when they leave office, then we believe that most of those shortcomings would be overcome."

He promised to run a responsive and responsible government when elected governor of the state, saying his government would listen to cries of the people, also pledging to embark on massive rural and urban development; construct rural roads that would enable farmers move their farm produce.
