Nigeria is very broke,PDP has emptied the Account~ Amaechi

Firstclass newsline gathered that Amaechi has said that the nation's
economic condition could be noticed through the dwindling statutory
monthly allocation usually received by the state from the Federal
Government.
Speaking during a thanksgiving service organised by the governorship
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, and
his campaign outfit, the Greater Campaign Organisation in Port
Harcourt on Sunday, the governor recalled that he was described as an
alarmist last year when he cried out over Nigeria's poor financial
state.
Amaechi pointed out that the nation's economy had continued to fall
since he made the statement in December 2014.
"When I said sometime last year that Nigeria's finances was in a dire
strait, some people referred to me as an alarmist. Since I made that
statement in December last year, the statutory allocation to the state
has continued to decline.
"Now, almost all the states are finding it difficult to pay salaries.
The state government owes civil servants their April salaries and
pensioners' four months' salary arrears because the state does not
have the money to pay them," the governor said.
Amaechi explained that he decided to channel financial resources
towards the completion of ongoing projects, which he promised would be
completed before the end of his administration on May 29, 2015.
He said, "Some people have chosen to make an issue of the difficulty
we are currently experiencing in paying the salaries of civil servants
as well as the arrears of our retirees. It is not our making.
"No government will deliberately refuse to pay the salaries of its
workers. We will pay as soon as we receive our share of our statutory
monthly allocation from the Federal Government.
"It is not easy to joggle the payment of salaries and the
implementation of capital projects that are actually geared towards
developing the state, creating jobs and improving the economy of the
state because more monies go into the society when you award contracts
and pay the contractors on time so that they can also pay their
workers on time."
