A SELF DECEIVING COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA

Twenty-one senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.

The current senators who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue.

The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.
Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN).).

In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.

In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.

It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.

This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.

NOW I ASK:

How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?

As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?

IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......

Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.

Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria. The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.

Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US President or 9 times the salary of US congressmen.

It's high time the country had a referendum on those outrageous salaries of Senators, House of Representative members and other political office holders.

A part of me wants to say it serves her right, but I won't till I say what is on mind.

She won't have died if she always told her madam to beg her governor husband to fix the many bad roads in Abia state.

With that said,
She died for what she believed in; ass-licking corrupt government officials.

I hope other BCA officials who praise that non-functional governor will learn from this.

somebody died and that is all u have to say,listen to urself,does it even sound nice in ur ear,that is how u are analyzing d pussy of an old woman on this same nairaland yesterday, Oga go get life o

They are running away from the stupid workers and pensioners who are owed several months and years but have not ransacked the state house.

Cromcruach91:


It is called politics, and if you try to reduce the waste by appointing too few but manageable workers/appointees, you might find yourself out of a job before the next election.

And yes, it is not right. But if we were to try to pass a law to end political appointments, who do you think it would go through....yes the same come and eat politicans.

Hmmm. Thought-filled words you put up there.

Until government convoys learn not to drive like thugs and criminals....RIP to the deceased.

A wicked man runs when no one is pursuing him.

It's their wickedness that is chasing them to their death.

An average Nigerian politician can never walk freely on the street , because they know their hands aren't clean, so they keep running with convoy to avoid Nemesis

If not what does a useless and shameles unelected, unconstitutional ,illegal first Lady doing with Entourage

webincomeplus:
Senior special assistant on media to the governor's wife? The amount of money being wasted on useless, nepotism-inspired, questionable offices in this country is beyond calculations.

money meant for the masses, they will convert it to salary for one person

RIP TO THE DECEASED.MAY GOD COMFORT THEIR FAMILIES 8

RIP

Over speeding,the way any vehicle with a siren runs on our roads,you will think they kept their lives in a safe somewhere..RIP to the dead..

Hahahahahaha

"Mrs Nwamaka Maduchukwu, a media aide to the governor's wife and Mrs Promise Uche-Nwamkpa, senior special assistant on media to Mrs. Nkechi Ikpeazu was among the two women who died on Tuesday in an auto crash involving the motorcade of the wife of Abia Governor"

the said road is not bad oga, though i am not supporting the governor,
The accident happened due to high speed while negotiating a bend along ndiolumbe road, new umuahia road

SapphirePRINCEX:
Bad road led to the accident that killed her

the said road isnt bad at all,that road leads to governor's village,linked the wife village too, the road from umuobiakwa to Isicourt is good, over speeding caused the accident

Over speeding, don't even know where they were rushing to.
