Adamawa workers accuse gov of using their salary for APC campaign

Workers in Adamawa State workers have accused the governor, Mohammed Bindow, of deducting over N300 million from their January salary for reasons they describe as political.

Some of the workers, who spoke to The Guardian on condition of anonymity, alleged that their salaries were slashed without notice, either from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) or their departments.

According to them, investigations revealed that the deductions were meant to fund the campaign rally of President Muhammadu Buhari.
