Nigerian singer, Simi is currently angry and has called out Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
She expressed her disgust after the governor paid N1.2 billion pension owed retirees just 4 days to the governorship election.
The singer expressed shock that the government had that amount of money but refused to pay the elderly who spent their youth serving the state, only to come few days to the election to clear the pension owed retirees.
Reacting to the tweet by @tvcnewsng that read, “Lagos State Pays 1.2billion Pension Funds To Retirees”,
Simi wrote: “I’m like…Soooo you always had this money? And these people had to beg for money they earned. You always had it?? Lawl
“They keep you poor so they can use your poverty to distract you from your freedom.”
