One of the Special Assistants of Cross River Governor, Freeman Godwin, has threatened to commit suicide over unpaid salaries.

He claimed he has not been a dime since his appointment last year.

Godwin alleged he got a loan to process documentation of his appointment but lamented he has been unable to service it because of non-payment of his salaries.

In a video obtained by The Nation, he said: “I am ready to die in this office. I have chosen by myself to take my life.

I lost everything. I was there living my life and they called me to take appointment. They asked me to borrow money to do clearance.

“At the end of the day they selected some people and pay N100, 000. Telling me Ben Ayade said, Ben Ayade said. So I should go and get a letter from Ben Ayade.

“Please don’t touch me. I will die for them.
…I sold everything to pay that young man.

I borrowed money, came here and did documentation hoping that when I am paid, I will pay back the loan.

“See, my wife gave birth through CS. A baby girl, I just said let me see what I can do but nothing…”

The kind of hardship political appointees in Cross River state are been subjected to is just unimagineable. Small time the Governor will come to National TV and srart shedding crocodile tears.

Lol you're only helping him reduce his financial burden. The clown governor would love nothing more. Are titles so sweet that you sit down and not get paid for year when you had another job that paid you?

I lost everything. I was there living my life and they called me to take appointment. They asked me to borrow money to do clearance.

And you can't resign and look for another job ?

Resign now, is it by force

The governors of that side can't even pay salary, the entitlement of workers but are always in a rush to descend their energy on PMB.

Too bad

Na wa oo...

He took a loan to bribe people in order to get the position?

Him no fit

Y
What is wrong with u guys

Monogamy:
And you can't resign and look for another job ?

It is only nonentities and loafers who complain while in government offices. Those with good jobs stay away from government appointments.

That being said, Ayade is just disgracing himself about. To think Ayade is a Professor.

Death is inevitable...I suppose that would flinch the governor a little ��

Ayade has more than 500 SAs.

What's wrong with Ayade?
Does his usefulness only circle around speaking English?

You haven’t been paid for this long yet you no resign? Obviously you are enjoying some allowances which has been sustaining you for this long.

Anyway, mr Ben Ayade wish he can help

Ayade the clown. Giving stupid appointments yet wouldn't pay the appointees. I knew this guy in ogoja back then. He was doing is music and comedy stuff. I no know who advise am to quit him hustle to follow politician.

I'll pay your outstanding salary and fire you

Am S.A to governor see wat things don cause u now. Pls kill Urself no one should beg him.. who ask you to collect loan

Hmm

All these aides na scam las las. You might not even see governor till the end of his tenure. It's just a way of settling the boys with 250k take home monthly. Okowa is good in doing these. Oga if u die Ben will cry he is good in crying. You die for free leaving your wife and innocent baby to suffer forever.

So, we can safely say that this particular video is a 'comedy skit'...?

Dem gum his yansh put for that appointment?
If he's not paid, why don't he resign and take up other ventures that can pay his bills and put food on his table?

No pun and no insults to all the hardworking Akwa Ibomites and Cross Riverians but this is my problem with alot of men from Akwa Ibom and Cross River extraction. Most of them like big positions, but they're lazy, unenterprising and love jolification. Yet they don't like working. You'd see their women working very hard while the men waste away seeking juicy govt positions, but gambling, eating like glutton or drinking to stupor and then lazying about all day long and when there's no money again, they cry and complain.

Find alternative if plan A fails

Don't kill yourself
