Senator Abbo blasts govs for asking Buhari to sack civil above 50 years

The Senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District in Adamawa State, Ishaku Elisha Abbo, has kicked against the call for the sack of civil servants above 50 years.

In a bid to prevent the nation from imminent economic collapse, the Nigerian governors have advised the federal government to retire all federal civil servants who are older than 50 years.

The governors also want the government to raise taxes across boars as well as levy anyone earning N30,000 and above monthly..

Reacting, however, Senator Abbo said those governors should sack themselves since they are all over 50 years old.

He tweeted, “The Governors want Buhari to sack civil servants that are over fifty years of age;they should have start from themselves since all of them are over fifty.”
