Even if politicians are to be paid pensions, the Nigerian Politicians do not deserve that. They loot us empty and yet are paid pensions thereafter. Too bad

Wow. Loud

I swear, very loud, its a political office for 4yrs and at most 8yrs, when they are done with there term, they should go back to there businesses, this people are made already, why will states continue to bleed just to cover there "pensions and entitlement"? Meanwhile a lot of states are owing pensioners who spent 30/35yrs in service, hopefully the national assembly will do same at the federal level.

May Allah bless everyone involved in the passage of this laudable bill.
I pray the Governor bless the bill with his assent and also wish the same legislative redemption is replicated in all States where that robbery are subsisting.
Kudos!

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.

Reading this kind of news in the social media is quite nauseating.

With this dwindling funds politicians still want to empty the last kobo the government coffers.

Other states in Nigeria should copy the position of Imo state government stopping pensions for public officers.

This is not good, it will encourage looting and embezzlement while in office.

Guy, embezzlement has been the order of the day for our politicians with or without pension... I'd rather they embezzle without pension
Re: Imo Assembly Stops Pension For Ex-Governors And Speakers, With The Law by donwalome(m): 11:41am On May 22, 2020
This is the right thing to do. Regular citizens have to work for over 20 years and retire before they can get pension and most government agencies don't even pay pensioners for years.

Shut up leave Lagos out of your misery.

My utmost respect for Bola Ahmed Tinubu but if I was baba, I will sharply rescind the pension payments and return that state building he bought back to the state government. I hope baba listens oooo!

All other states in Nigeria should do the same.
Re: Imo Assembly Stops Pension For Ex-Governors And Speakers, With The Law by Bluntemperor: 11:59am On May 22, 2020
This legislation is commendable and should be adopted by all the States in Nigeria.
For the avoidance of doubt,what manners of business did those former Governors perform that all the Security Votes disappeared just like that,yet crimes refuses to go.
