Why Ambode should be saying that, he owned no debt as governor of Lagos. He said the only debt he met was what he left.

The monthly pensions and other benefits the Lagos state lawmakers implement for tinubu and his other ex gov can pay all the ex civil servants in Lagos and there will be change.

Yes, it's true, Ambode always release funds for pensioners. When Ambode entered, he met a huge debt in terms of pension and he has been paying. He started paying pension owed by Fashola. He kept paying the Pension batch by batch until he left office.

It is true. My MIL too, since 2015.

Please ask your mother in law if Ambode did not start paying pension owed by Fashola and continued paying batch by batch till he left office. Please always get your fact right. Ambode paid pension until he left office, may be it didn't get to your MIL batch.

It's not a fake news. Ambode releases funds to pay pensioners every month. You can ask your mum for confirmation. He started paying those owed by Fashola and was paying it batch by batch every month. So it's not really his fault.

You have 8 years to retirement you go still dey born pikin. You have ur self to blame. Daft people

Don't say or even think that! You do not know the situations some people face including infertility and late marriages. There are some who need to apply some control, true, but don't generalise.

The point is that there shouldn't even be stories of government indebtedness and there should also be social programs and interventions for children of school age as is obtained in decent, developed societies. Your blames n insults should go to Nigeria and its nationwide bad governance not citizens who are on the receiving end as hapless victims. How about pensioners that have died due to illness and absence of funds to treat in addition to poor healthcare facilities?

It's not fake news.
Former governors starting from Fashola reformed the pension system and they make sure (New) pensioners are paid every quarter.
What they do now is that you are paid according to when you retired. I.e the person that retired first get entitlement first unlike the old system which was characterised by who you know.
Before a person can retire and get his money within six months whereas some have been on queen for more than 5years.

The major problem is that there were backlog of unpaid entitlement for many years even before Tinubu govt. don't forget also that the money is a huge one and people retired from service virtually everyday.
It's such a complicated thing. The person the OP refers to knew the procedure but government can do better even if it means taking loan to pay up the backlog.

I hope both of you have better information than newspaper talk before you start defending wicked politicians else you'll share in the curses meant for them in tenfold for supporting oppressors.
Former govs in Lagos state earn humongous benefits as pensions and they're not owing them but when it comes to ordinary people, story starts.
If Ambode was paying monthly as you guys claim, how come people who retired in 2015 are yet to get a kobo.
That other guy even says it's before tinubu. Do you know that's over 20yrs ago?
You people should be careful. Don't mortgage your future because of crumbs from politicians!!

Despite withholding retirees' pensions and gratuities, and earning a humongous amount of IGR annually, they still owe the largest debt (both domestic and external) among all the states.
You ask yourself, what have the past administrations of Lagos State Government been doing with all those funds?

Not just Lagos, almost all the states in the South... Is it that the funds are not available, or the governors don't see it as a priority? What can we say is the excuse of Lagos: a state that prides itself with such monthly IGR? Why can't Negroes, especially in Nigeria, perform a simple act of service like leadership?... You would almost think it's rocket science.
