349 former councilors who served under the administration of the immediate past governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, have again appealed to Governor Dapo Abiodun, to pay their outstanding severance packages, furniture allowances, and unpaid salaries.

“We want to use this medium to appeal to our amiable Governor, Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun to pay our outstanding severance packages, furniture allowances, and two months and 10 days of unpaid salary.
