Abayomi Mighty has called out Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration, branding him an anti–civil servant governor. Abayomi Mighty described him as a generational betrayal: “It is utterly ironic,” Abayomi Mighty declared, “that Abiodun, a son of a civil servant, is the one perpetuating systemic punishment against Ogun civil servants.”
Abayomi Mighty catalogued how the progressive deterioration began under Governor Ibikunle Amosun but has now climaxed in Abiodun’s complete default on pension remittances, despite inheriting a working structure established under Otunba Gbenga Daniel who played the foundation for civil service that have since been abused.
He says the heart of the controversy lies in the unremitted ₦82 billion in pension deductions spanning more than 14 years according to Punch. Abayomi Mighty points out that while Daniel introduced the contributory pension scheme in 2008 to safeguard retirees’ future, his administration at least paid civil servants consistently and treated the workforce with dignity — unlike what he described as the “callous disregard” under Amosun and now Abiodun.
After Daniel left office, Amosun only managed nine months of remittance before abandoning the scheme; Abiodun, according to Organized Labour, “has not paid a kobo into that scheme since 2019” (Daily Post, July 2025]
Abayomi Mighty blasts this neglect as “a vicious attack on every arm of the civil service — education, health, judiciary, police, corrections, local government, depriving them of dignity, stability, and the promise of retirement after decades of service.”
He vows that as Nigeria’s President in 2027, he would repair this betrayal by ensuring prompt remittance of both employer and employee contributions, restoring trust in the system for all public servants. “No more excuses, no more hidden deductions. The Nigerian civil servant will sleep easy knowing retirement will never mean poverty again,” Abayomi Mighty pledged.
He added that has President , he’d establish a comprehensive adult social welfare scheme, a safety net that goes beyond pensions to protect vulnerable elderly citizens nationwide. “We owe our parents and grandparents dignity,”
“This is not a campaign promise; it is a covenant with the Nigerian people to end generational abandonment.”
Abayomi Mighty argues that the paralysis in Ogun today is a direct result of Abiodun’s “arrogant indifference” towards those who keep the state running. He denounced the situation as an “unfolding moral tragedy” that has left families stranded and the civil service humiliated.
