Imo State House of Assembly, on Thursday passed into law a bill which will stop past governors and speakers from receiving their pensions and other privileges.

The executive bill was presented by the Majority Leader of the House, Uche Ogbuagu and given accelerated hearing.

In an interview, the Majority Leader said the bill would go a long way in saving cost for the State.

According to him, the State loses about N1.3bn annually to offset the bills, a sum he described as humongous enough to pay workers’ salary.

He applauded the Governor, Hope Uzodinma for assenting to the bill, adding that Imo State will soon enjoy the benefits derivable from the law.

Uche Ogbuagu is the member representing Ikeduru State Constituency in the Imo House of Assembly.

Dem don blow the trumpet abi whistle but na medicine after death...Dem don already pack the money wey their upcoming 3rd generation go chop

People wey don already loot their pensions..make them throway the immunity wey dey cover them as sitting governors..dis no mean anything to me.

E no go last. The speaker will become the governor and 'normalcy ' will return

Loool! Imo state and controversy!

Eh for this naija?

An act worthy of emulation for other 35 states. Especially Lagos state.

Greedy People

Rochas Okorocha and Ohakim Ikedi will be furious about this development.

Other states need to follow suit especially a particular state governed by an okpolo eyed cartel.

Hahaha, wahala dey oh! 1.3 billion? If this Bill is really targeted at helping the workers in the state. Then, kudos!

Audio Bill/Law

That's what's up!

Uchechukwugeme Ogbuagu is now showing that he truly represents the interests of the masses

they just fastened the opportunities for the serving ones and the ones that are yet to serve to loot what will take them to their graves and even when they reincarnate, they will still have enough that will take them to their graves again until Jesus comes. SMH.

Another crook will get there and reverse the law. Lol

Awesome, I love this....

First of its kind that I've heard in Nigeria

Commendable.
This is what lawmakers should do.

Imagine Rochas getting pension, and still collecting senatorial benefits, and later in the future, he will become a pensioner in the senate.

Other states and even federal law makers should follow suit.

Hope Uzodinma might actually mean well to Imo people, who knows?

Nice one from Imo state.! Other states should follow suite

Wow I will love that

Beautiful! I love this

Uzodimma wants to stop paying pension to Rochas and Ohakim. A month to the end of Uzodimma's tenure, he would restore back the pension for governors. Uzodimma is a confirmed high grade 419ner. A wicked scammer for that matter. He has also stopped paying all pensioners in imo state. And he is owing Imo workers since March.
