welcome developmnt. but won't they be embezling our money since there is no pension afta leaving d office.

dearpreye:


Kikikikikiki. We're watching. Watching keenly!

This while wasteful and lazy pension law started by the lion of Bourdillon! !!! How pleasant! !!

Bayswater:
And the usual pandering continues. This is a law passed by the state house of assembly. This law can only be changed by the men that passed it. Buhari needs to chill and stop feeding on the ignorance of the Nigerian masses.

RockMaxi:
Buhari should please soft pedal on this campaign. You need the cooperation of the 36states governors. You will equally need another law to counter all this but you know you only have 4years for your first tenure and this is very short to meddle with all this corruption that have been institutionalized.

Sibrah:
Buhari is right on this, how can a governor serve for 8 years and give himself life pension? What about worker who put in 20 years. To make it worse these people while in power give themselves all manner of aides who get pay and normal pension too.

softapple:
shut the Bleep up.

anonimi:


I agree it is a good thing but have we asked ourselves whether the president has CONSTITUTIONAL authority over these matters? If the answer is NO, then Buhari is simply yearning dust like the DoroDullard that he was, is & will always be.

He should be talking realistically of PERSUADING the state houses of assembly not to approve such pensions.

We are in a democracy not a military DICTATORSHIP!

Has the law stopped them from embezzling the fund?

Did you read that he will persuade and encourage the states to repeal the laws?

But why allow emotions and hatred becloud your judgment? Is there anywhere in that article that suggests Buhari wants to autocratically achieve this? The man only declares his intentions and may be looking into persuading the state assemblies via lobbies and robust national debates to achieve this noble aim. That the corrupt outgoing president could not muster enough political will to deal with the greed and avarice of politicians do not mean an incoming serious president can't. I advise you people put your misguided ethnic sentiments aside and support every noble idea this man has to move the nation away from the current doldrums. Ain't you thrilled most of the states that have passed this law are APC states yet he wants to move against them? Is that not a sign he will not spare anybody whether APC or PDP in his quest for a better Nigeria? The man and everyone knows he's no longer in a military regime where he will be using fiat to achieve his goals so must have thought about every single step intends to use. You guys cut him some slack, sit back and watch him do what our brother from the Niger Delta could not do. No sentiments, a goldfish have no hiding place and we have sighted one.

Bawss1:


Doesn't Buhari himself receive an allowance for life for forcefully taking over government in 1983?

GOOD. BUHARI IS WORKING, HATERS ARE HATING

Sibrah:

Really!
That does not make what the governors are doing right, somebody has to correct all of them and I am glad Buhari is.
