The economic challenge facing the country is gradually taking its toll on the lives of Nigerians as the situation is now threatening the payment of salaries of public servants.

Governor of Imo state and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors' Forum, Chief Rochas Okorocha on Tuesday painted a picture of a desperate economic situation that may make many of the states not being able to pay workers’ salaries.

In acknowledgement of the enormous challenges facing the country, the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, asked Nigerians to exercise some patience and to allow the incoming administration chance to re-organize the ailing economy.

Okorocha, who met the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, along with other APC governors at Defence House in Abuja on Tuesday, lamented that the terrible state of the economy has put payment of April salaries of workers in jeopardy.

"One of the issues that became of concern to all of us is the state of the Nigerian economy which is really in bad shape. We have come to notify the incoming president of the challenges ahead of him.

"As it stands today, most states of the federation have not been able to pay salaries and even the Federal government has not paid April salary and that is very worrisome. By May and June, that (salaries) will be cumulative of three months," he said.

On behalf of the state governors, Okorocha pleaded with the incoming Buhari administration to consider implementing intervention measures that can bail out federal and state governments from the critical situation to at least enable them meet their salary obligations.

"We wonder with the huge expectation from Nigerians and people who have voted us into power, we are hoping that the president-elect will do whatever is humanly possible to bring about a bailout not only in the states but the federal government at least for people to get their salaries and turn around the economy.

"We have seen the reason to work together and support Mr President and we have also called on all our brothers in other political parties to come along with us to build the Nigeria of our dream. In a nutshell, we have come to congratulate Mr President on a well deserved victory knowing that this victory, the change we've all been waiting for must only be dedicated to ordinary citizens of Nigeria who stood up and voted accordingly.”
