ABUJA —THE National Assembly, yesterday, completed
the amendment of the 1999 Constitution with approval
of life pension for anybody who has held office as
President or Vice President, Senate President or Deputy
Senate President, Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
But beneficiaries of this gesture must be occupants who
successfully concluded their terms in office without
removal or impeachment.
The amended constitution, which was presented as
motion, to the floor of the Senate by the Chairman,
Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999
Constitution, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, for onward
transmission to the president for assent, also made it
mandatory for the president to appear once a year
before the joint sitting of the National Assembly to
deliver an address in respect of the state of the nation.
But the president, in the expected constitution, loses
the power to solely assent to bills passed by the
National Assembly. The same applies to state governors.

The amended Clause read: “Any person who has held
office as President or Deputy President of the Senate,
Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of
Representatives, shall be entitled to pension for life at a
rate equivalent to the annual salary of the incumbent
President or Deputy President of the Senate, Speaker or
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives,
provided that such a person was not removed from
office by the process of impeachment or for breach of
any of the provisions of this Constitution.
“The president shall attend a joint meeting of the
National Assembly once a year to deliver an address in
respect of the state of the nation. He may attend any
joint meeting of the National Assembly, either to deliver
an address on national affairs including fiscal measures,
or to make such statement on the policy of government
as he considers to be of national importance.”

Bastard. The economy is crumbling and instead of making constitutions to enable it be revived you are sanctioning life pension for yourselves. Greedy bastards.
