Below are the mouth watering benefits, anyone who served as governor of Lagos State will enjoy after office.

It was gathered that, the pension scheme for Lagos governors, was designed by the former Attorney General of Lagos State, under Tinubu, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, who is now the vice president of the country.

Lagos is ranked as one of the most dangerous cities to live in the world, due to the prevalent security threats, ranging from police brutality, harassment from street urchins, government officials, task forces and armed robbers.

Lagos also named as one of the most stressful state to live and conduct business activities due to traffic jam. The state also have one of the world's worst inner city developments.

12. 8 policemen, 2 DSS attached to the governor for the rest of his life.

However, Lagos State House of Assembly said on Sunday it would not repeal the state’s pension law which authorised former governors and other public office holders to receive juicy pensions from state coffers.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Information and Strategy, said the lawmakers would not go the way of their Zamfara counterparts which recently repealed pension law for its former governors and other public officials in the state.

The Federal High Court, Lagos, had last week ordered the Federal Government to recover pensions collected by former governors now serving as ministers and members of the National Assembly.

The court also directed the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to challenge the legality of states’ pension laws permitting former governors and other ex-public officials to receive such pensions.

Braimoh, however, faulted the court ruling that ordered Malami to take immediate legal action toward the repealing of state laws that permit “former governors to enjoy governors’ emoluments while drawing normal salaries and allowances in their new political offices.”

He said as long as the law did not contravene the constitution, state assemblies had the right to make laws for the benefit of the society in which they operate.

According to him, separation of powers as enshrined in the constitution empowers the legislature to make laws, the executive to implement and the judiciary to interpret the laws.

He said: “The Supreme Court had made it clear several times that no arm of government can repeal the constitutional provisions of another arm of government.

“Therefore, legislators make laws that are in tune with the yearnings and dynamics of their society.

“Until another legislature comes to alter, review or amend the law, the law is meant to be obeyed.

“The judiciary cannot pronounce that law by the state is unconstitutional unless such state law is contradictory to the constitution.”

Why are you trying to justify the unjustifiable baba?? Being a governor is a choice provided you have the heart of your people and you truly want to serve them. The current madness of wealth acquisition by our political elite all in the name of being a governor is a scam and pathetic. Don't justify that please!

So some of these guys are actually triple dipping from government pockets based on previous n current positions.


The only conclusion is that we're not serious as a country. It's really a shame.

It is not about justifying it,those benefits are there so they can focus on given 20million Lagosians there very best.Remember we are in an insane system that could make them over enrich themselves at our detriment at least let those benefits serve as guilty Apple when they have to account to God,so they won't say they where tempted.

I totally agree! This is a scam and we need it to be resolved asap

Fvck!

No sane mind should be in support of this madness in any state , our standard of living is below average . Hence, no ex political office holder within sates should be entitled to huge pension because lot of them only serviced their pockets while in office .

EbukaHades10:

common Lagos is as good as a country ....They don't even have a private jet dedicated to the governor yet you are complaining

Akwa Ibom had similar outrageous pensions for ex governors. They can get jobs after leaving office but they'd rather leach off tax payers for everything. Oh well nothing will chsnge until the state assembly is pressured to change laws.

No wonder they could not solve ordinary traffic issues bedeviling the state

Keep doubting, Uncle Thomas, what does it change?, Alausa never fails to deposit his 100 of millions of Naira in his account every year.

It's just Tinubu and fashola That will to benefit from this. Ambode no go see shishi

Before I would earn this much as an ex - Governor, everyone in the state must be a millionaire, there would be no single poor person living in the state.
