Pensioners in Abia State have alleged that the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP) locked them out of a community hall, forcing meetings outdoors. These pensioners, accusing NUP leaders of bias because of their support for Governor Alex Otti, seek resolution regarding their overdue gratuities, claimed to be inherited from previous administrations. The union’s actions allegedly ignored the needs of many retirees. Stanley Ibekwe from the Concerned Pensioners expressed grievances and sought Governor Otti’s intervention for fair treatment. The situation underscores serious concerns about the handling of pensioners’ rights.
