The member representing Afikpo North/Afikpo South federal constituency, Ebonyi State in the House of Representatives, Hon. Iduma Igariwey has paid the severance allowances of two former councillors in the Afikpo North local government area who were denied their allowances by the council authority.
Former Councillors of the local government were invited to come to the Local Government Council Headquarters, to receive their Severance Allowances which had not been paid over the years.
But two of the Councillors, Marshall Ali Ndukwe, and Ugwunna Ugwu, were reportedly told to renounce their membership of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and loyalty to Igariwey which they refused and were denied payment of their allowances of N1.2million each.
Yesterday, Igariwey paid the two former Councillors the sum of N1.5 million naira each.
