Ken Pela, a Labour Party, LP candidate for governor in Delta state, has pledged to raise the state’s minimum salary for workers to N100,000 if elected.
In an interview with Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Pela made this commitment.
In addition, he promised Delta’s residents that if they elected him governor, they would have access to the best hospitals, schools, and roads.
If you observe, I don’t talk much about constructing roads, providing healthcare, and other things because those are our people’s rights, he stated. I can assure Delta residents that they will have the best hospitals, schools, and roads.

“But what we will do is to engender prosperity in the land and we have an eight-point agenda, eight prosperity drivers that will enable prosperity. The first is that we will pay a living wage; we are planning to break the minimum wage progressively to N100,000 a month, we are looking at 60,000 almost immediately,” he added.
On how to finance the N100, 000 minimum wage, the Labour Party candidate said he will cut waste and corruption to ensure money is freed to carry out the promises.
Pela added that he will ensure fiscal autonomy for the local governments in the state to ensure they get the necessary funds to execute projects and also ensure that the quality of people in the local governments is improved.
