people like okorocha, Godswill, and other former state governors in the national assambly todoay will never allow such bills to be passed in their own states houses of assemblies....the law is good...atleast curb the excess of these state governors n help save funds for the state's to pay or involve in other developmental projects

It’s never too late to do right!!!
Bravo!!!!
In fact it should be that once they get re-elected or re appointed into any office, they will lose that status forever.

Halopy:

Is saraki the only one that has benefited such?

is the first to support it

Halopy:

He influenced it. Shikena

And you know this how?

Are you saying they a bunch of slowpokes that cannot reason for themselves?

All these politicians taking us for granted must come to an end. after collecting his own pension for 8 good years, saraki funny sha

abiodunalasa:
So after eating his fill of Pension as Former Governor since 2011
Now he realize the Pension is criminal ? Just before 2019 election ?

Wow... How convenient !

But at least he made the right move. It's better late than never.

buffalowings4:
All is smokescreen
Just go to ilorin and marvel at the blatant corruption and hoarding of state's wealth for personal use
Signed a bill into law guaranteeing him getting a house after his tenure
Had the govt tear it down as it wasn't to his specification
The house was rebuilt
Then he sold it back to the govt.
Haha

And he just opened a hotel there
Go figure

Wife just opened a clinic too

We are fvck.ed
His kid is also being groomed to be the governor
Hear that sometime ago he organized a shopping spree for anyone who was at shoprite for free.
Lol

This is Nigeria.
For me, I am always grateful and thankful when Nigerian politicians do the right thing cos If they don't,what can we do but shout and complain. So when they do right I praise them cos they lose we gain.
In Nigeria vote don't really count and people also are still narrow-minded and short sighted that they sell their votes.

Bros calm down Abeg

Why is everyone aattributing it to Saraki!

He has always been a beneficiary, Or is it because he is nw enjoying Federal Cash.

Another arguments is that: They will loot more since, no more luxury pension for them!

why you can't read and understand?...This is what the new bill says; former governors and deputy governors, who after leaving office, went further to hold a political or public office, automatically lose all pension accrued to them as former governor and deputy from their state for an long as they remain in such public or political office. This is a big step towards building strong Democratic system we've been yearning for in Nigeria.

Ellabae:
yes like Korea movies

you watch korean movies?

Every state should embrace this. Next should be drastic reduction in salary of Senators and Reps. I know say that one go hard!!!

what brings Saraki in this case, is he the governor of the state. the media needs to work on their information

Firstpage:
It's a step in the right direction.

But I don't get why his name is being mentioned here. Is he a part of the state assembly that passed the law?

or is he the incumbent governor? ....Nigerian reporters are too local

Some have also argued that it is not out of place for those who have served diligently to be rewarded while they rest,...

Yes it is out of place to give rich people huge pensions in a country where millions of people live on nothing.

Those that have served diligently in political positions should earn a standard pension at best. I favour no pension as we can't afford this continued unsustainable growth in dead recurrent expenditure while people starve daily. Public office is for service and we should treat it like that.

Suspended.

So once he is out of political office, the governor pension payments will be reactivated. That is if it is really paused in the first place

Cadec007:
you watch korean movies?

yes o

He was caught. Not because he is nice. Nigerians forget easily

Let him returned all the previous one collected from 2011-2018, before I will start to commend him.

Ellabae:
yes o

hmmm, we share the same birthday, we are both man utd fans, now we also love korean movies, what exactly are you?:-|:-|

What are you saying?
The man is the one controlling the state. He was the one that asked the Mr. Gov. to send the said bill to the House of Assembly, while also instructed the lawmakers to pass it.

Do you think they dare pass such a bill, which is not favour him, without his approval? Even they no born Governor well to sponsor that kind thing, not to talk of lawmakers passing it.

So if Saraki did not hold any political office after 2019 election, the payment then continue from were they stops. Who are they deceiving... LUBBISH!
