Abia

Two former governors of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and Senator Theodore Orji are beneficiaries of the Abia State Governors’/Deputy Governors’ Pension Law. The former governors are entitled to 100% of the salary of the incumbent which for the two men would mean sharing N4.44 million every year and N17.76 million over four years.

The official vehicle earmarked at N20 million each could bring the expenditure on the two former governors of the state over four years to N57.76 million Former deputy governors of the state are also entitled to 100 per cent of the salary of the incumbent deputy governor. Besides the pension , the Pension Law for former governors and deputy governors of the state also provides that former governors are entitled to “the sum of money as may from time to time be granted by the State Government by way of Pensions, allowances and privileges in accordance with this Law”.

Privileges for the former governor The privileges for the former governor include an official car, a police orderly, two operatives of Department of State Service, two police men for the security of his house. He is also entitled to allowances for cooks, stewards, driver and gardener.

On a conservative monthly payment of N30,000 for each, that could bring the total payment on domestic staff to the two former governors over four years to N11.52 million bringing the total expenditure on the two former governors of the state to N69.28 million over four years The Law also made provision for medical attention for the former governors and their deputies. Some privileges are also extended to former deputy governors but lower than what the former governor enjoy. The former deputy governors of Abia State entitled to the allowance are Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Chief Eric Acho Nwakanma, who served under Orji Uzor Kalu. Chief Emeka Ananaba who served with former Governor Orji. Senator Abaribe, however, told Vanguard that he was not collecting any pension from the Abia State government.

Den no dey carry last in poor and rotten Abia, while abia rots and decays away, their former governors are enjoying one of the best pension plans in Nigeria, but Igbos are killing themselves over Lagos state..


Why are you going to start losing sleep over your poor states spending huge amount of cash on your useless and worthless former governors?



Hatred and bitterness miss road..

YEs coz they would have stolen enough already

Akwa Ibom Akwa Ibom under the Pension Act, 2014 spends an average of 174.16 on former governors a year and N93.62 million on each former deputy governor per year.

That is besides the estimated N25 million spent every four years in changing the official and utility cars of each former governor and deputy governor. Besides, it is believed that not less than N300 million provided for the building of a mansion in the state or Abuja for former governors. Official and utility cars Akwa Ibom with two former governors, and two former deputy governors who qualify for the pension scheme, the state is expected to spend N2.043 billion over a four year round .

Mogbe, Akwa Ibom carry the whole cake.

They spend N174. 016 Billion per year on their useless former governors?


This is just too sad...


SMH...

I hope and pray that the rest of Nigeria follow Lagos state's example by repealing these laws.


God Bless Lagos state

God Bless Gov Sanwo Olu

God Bless Asiwaju Tinubu

God Bless Nigeria.

NGpatriot:








Sadly for you,Obaseki just last year increased the amount spent on pensions for the former governors in Edo state on top of the fact that they have more former governors that the rest of Nigeria and instead of changing the law like they are doing in Lagos, Obaseki is increasing and expanding the the amount of taxpayers money spent on former governors in Edo state.


That ignorant joke is on you.

can two wrongs make a right? Which of them is good? Edo govt creating pension for ex-governors and deputies is equally as bad as that of Lagos and other states. I never said anything about any pension law, I only spoke of "taking on" a godfather but unfortunately, u weren't able to see my point.

HOW DARE YOU TRYING TO BITE THE FINGER THAT FEED YOU !

TINUBU 'LL NOT TAKE THIS !

You have so much to learn about Nigerian politics

tinubu is trying to clean up his mess
to make it look like he is not greedy
he knows people are angry at his greed
now he doesnt want to be called a thief by his people
being called a thief is one of the worst insult in yoruba land

Akpabio the nddc thief made that crazy law. Go to that state and see poverty alive and well yet he made that stupid law.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday announced to the State House of Assembly his intention to repeal the Public Office Holder (Payment of Pension Law 2007) which provides for payment of pension and other entitlements to former governors and their deputies, Igbere TV reports.

He made this known during his presentation of the 2021 budget.

The move if granted will see an end to the payment of pension to former governors of the state including Babatunde Fashola and Bola Tinubu.

Quote me, if this bill touches the House of Assembly whether it scale through or not, no second term for Sanwoolu. Naija politicians dont like any progress that will affect them negatively.

Good one your excellency


Ipobians won't see anything good about this.

Nairaland can be such a confusing playground

One minute you people love to remind us that Nigeria has many many tribes

Next minute you people act like only the igbos exist. Everyone you disagree with must be igbo


Last time I checked, Tribe Detection Technology is not yet available on phones

LET THE STATE EDICT STOP IT HENCEFORTH AND ASK FOR REFUND FROM THE DATE IT STARTED.

Another story. This governor is so much unlike Obaseki of Edo state. He doesnt have the ball to go against his godfather. Imagine a governor that never requested the presence of the military, but was arm-twisted into lying that he invited the military who came and start shooting against unarmed protesters. Even if they pretend and agree to repeal the pension law, they will compensate him by increasing the share of Alphabeta in the revenue generated on behalf of the Lagos State govt

Until alpha beta cease being a client of lirs on tax collections,on behalf of d lagos state,this is just another story to calm nerves.A court ruling has alrdy be passed n he's just fulfill the court actions.

2 wrong doesn't make a right, but where is the sense and wisdom in criticizing the Sanwo Olu side that's trying to correct the wrong while praising the Obaseki side who just made the wrong worse by passing and approving a law that not only cement EEdo's pension law, but also approved more spending of taxpayers money on the same pension laws you are lamenting over.?

Do you not see the hypocrisy, lack of authenticity and lack of principle in your upside argument.

Your presence here has nothing to do with the pension law in Lagos or anywhere in Nigeria, it's all about your usual silly noise and bigoted sentiments about Tinubu godfather and similar nonsense.


You people hardly make sense.

Prior to these plans of international expansion, the firm has already announced intentions to enhance its infrastructure by 2019, which it will use to service its expansive pool of clients that extend across the Nigerian state of Abia, Imo, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Sokoto, Kano, Plateau and Nasarawa.


https://www.consultancy.africa/news/1318/alpha-beta-consulting-unveils-plans-for-international-expansion-in-africa

When is Alpha Beta going to cease being the collectors for Abia, Imo, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Sokoto, Kano, Plateau and Nasarawa where they also collect taxes?

When are you going to demand that the governments of Abia and Imo stop using Alpha Beta?

Or you don't mind if Tinubu is looting your ipob states as long as he's looting Lagos state?

See how lame, pointless and bigoted you Igbos sound?

Ignorant Igbos and hypocrites..

You get sense jo! Exactly my thought.

This is not a governor but a dummy. You don't throw baby with bath water, all because you are trying to get at somebody. Sane thing to do is to make some adjustments and not abolishing it. You met it there, so why the rush to abolish?
