Lagos  – Constitutional lawyer and Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti- Corruption, Prof. Itse  Sagay has strongly  condemned the proposed life pension for principal officers of the National Assembly describing it as disturbing, unacceptable and insensitive.

He particularly frowned at Senate President Bukola Saraki for wanting to collect pension from the federal government while already enjoying the same privilege having served as a two-time former governor of Kwara state.

He described Saraki as baby who is not ready to be independent but wants to depend on state and federal government agencies for sustenance for life.

“ It is disturbing. I recently granted an interview where I stated that the senators basically are there just for themselves. They are there to promote their private and personal interests at the expense of the rest of the country.  They don’t just give a hoot about what happens to Nigeria as long as they are promoting their selfish and egoistic interests. This recent action by the lawmakers has further confirmed that”.

“How can a man who has just become a Senate President and will stay there at the most for four years be demanding for pension?  Already, (Bukola) Saraki is enjoying pension as a former governor of Kwara state. Now, he wants another pension from the federal government through the National Assembly”.

“So, he is turning himself into a baby who is going to be fed with feeding bottle full of milk by the federal government and then from his own state. So, forever he is like a little child that cannot stand on his two feet and has to be padded right, left and centre, sustained and maintained throughout his life by federal and state agencies”.

Sagay said that it was shocking for the lawmakers to make such demands with the current economic situation which had caused job losses and increased poverty in the country also advised President Muhammadu  Buhari not to append his signature on the proposal if eventually passed by the lawmakers.

“ People should have some self-respect. Apart from the fact that it is totally immoral, unacceptable and insensitive because of the state of our economy, it is completely unjust. I think we should disregard it. If that bill is passed, the president of course should veto it and we move on. It is unthinkable and it shows that they have no respect for the people of this country”

…..  Life Pension Not For Me – Saraki

Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Monday said the immunity and life pension for presiding officers of the National Assembly being canvassed is not specifically for him but the occupant of the office.

Speaking in a chat with Independent, his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Yusuph Olaniyonu, said those claiming Saraki is scheming to get life pension for himself are wrong since anyone who occupies the office after him will also enjoy the same privilege.

He also said that the senators are only debating the proposal and have not agreed that the bill must be passed into law.

“The senators are just discussing it. This is something that has been agreed upon and sent to former President Goodluck Jonathan.  It is not a new thing.  The issues that were discussed at the constitution amendment committee were issues that were already agreed and sent to Jonathan but which he could not sign before leaving office”.

“Number two, the pension is not for Saraki. It is for the occupant of the office of the Senate president. They are still debating this issues, it is not as if they have passed a bill on it.  It is an ongoing debate”.

“Everyone is just mentioning Saraki, Saraki. He is not the first occupant of that office and he won’t be the last; same with the Speaker of the House of Representatives” he said.

I concur

Having many corruption cases around his "head" like a turban, one would expect Saraki to stay humble while he tries to clear his name but "No", A monkey will always jump. It doesn't need trees to show this skill.

Bunch of rogues.

He is....

Fantastically written..

AhhhahahahA

Saraki is a spoilt brat. The earlier we remove him, the better for us. If not, he and that his multi-colored deputy Senate president will finish Nigeria in 2yrs.

I hope lalasticlala can see this

With the hoards of zombies waiting with open mouths in kwara state, praising the theiving senate president, why won't he be insatiable. How do you expect him to sustain his stomach infratsructure bribe scheme . This is a man whose family looted kwara state to a point of undevelopment. Yet many there worship the ground he steps on, we all deserve the leaders we get

When corruption starts fighting back . Saraki and his lazy thieving cohorts should be ashamed for trying to bend and blend the rule of law selfishly to their own taste and favour so as to shade them from being probed on their nefarious and dubious activities while in the helm of power .
Just imagine if immunity covers all these unqualified leaders branding themselves as Law makers ? Ain't this a plot to fraudulently twist the law ? . .
I can vehemently assure you guys that our amiable President will never sign such notorious proposed bill into a Law . . They can keep dreaming .
Bunch of Thieves craving for immunity and life pension . . .
In 2face voice . .
Ole! Ole! Ole!

Saraki is just unbelievable.

You can't blame him sir, dude has lost a fortune, perhaps half of his worth, on litigation hiring over 5,000 SANs and sponsorship of protests by Lost Piglets of Uganda. He needs to recoup all that which he's lost via any means necessary.

this guy comes from a very rich family n he is also very rich what else dose he want

Na wa for wa

How did we end up with this directionless and selfish man as the SP?

Ugandan Piglets can hardly stand alone. They always have to summon others whenever they intend to grunt and squeal.

May Shuku Abuko Alibo bless you all.

Hmmm..yet some are still bleaching.

I believe death has refused to visit them cos the graves are not ready/willing to accommodate them. They will live long in pain and regrets. I have seen people suffer so much that they pray for death..don't know if you have.

How else when we have some animals who would support, protect, and protest for anything sleazy in country?

This man is unrepented thief.

Saraki is the worst in to ever happen to Kwarans! He loves to live on free money! I hate his types!

Saraki is biting more than he can chew.

He should realize that when it gets down to it, it shall be "all man for himself", he's building a bigger cross than he can carry, and the lost ones won't help him with little as a finger.

Did his family ever put in serious work for the riches? He doesnt understand the concept of honest labour..

From his dad's muscling of kwara's heritage to Société & Trade banks to his own 2 terms to forgery of senate rules to connivance with his party's opposition, he doesn't know any w to make money without getting murky.

Ok.
