Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday announced to the State House of Assembly his intention to repeal the Public Office Holder (Payment of Pension Law 2007) which provides for payment of pension and other entitlements to former governors and their deputies, Igbere TV reports.

He made this known during his presentation of the 2021 budget.

The move if granted will see an end to the payment of pension to former governors of the state including Babatunde Fashola and Bola Tinubu.

Who this wan use sense for! Anyway, make we see his format !!

I thought you ipob hypocrites cry and yell everyday that Tinubu is the one running and controlling Lagos and the governor so what if this is Tinubu's idea in the first place?


Look here ipob, such issues does not transpire in Lagos without the knowledge and consent of the party and the former governors.


With all the poorness, kerosene and wheelbarrow situation in your towns nd villages, you Igbos need this repeal more than Lagos state.


grin grin



I am not IPOB , I am from Akwa Ibom. No god fatherism in my beautiful state. Akpabio try it and we send him into obviation.

The proposal is GOOD anyway.

But i see problem brewing between Sanwo-Olu and Ex. governors. Imagine, Ex. governors that collects X amount as pension and gratuities before and you know to stop it.

My opinion is that Sanwo-Olu can reduce the X amount by 50%.

Another story. This governor is so much unlike Obaseki of Edo state. He doesnt have the ball to go against his godfather. Imagine a governor that never requested the presence of the military, but was arm-twisted into lying that he invited the military who came and start shooting against unarmed protesters. Even if they pretend and agree to repeal the pension law, they will compensate him by increasing the share of Alphabeta in the revenue generated on behalf of the Lagos State govt lipsrsealed

To douse tensions post-EndSARS protests, Tinubu was 100% likely the person who told him to do that. There's no doubt about that. We're still waiting for when Lagos will become free from Tinubu's chokehold and stranglehold so that the governor can take decisions without any strings.

Anambrian Obiano needs your advise. Please avail him!

he hasn't done much but I am satisfied with the way he demistified a group of people who thought nobody can become somebody in Edo state without their support. I am proud of that.

You are not wrong at all. But beyond that I still think after the endsars protest, I think their Brain is actually beginning to reset. At least they are evening thinking along the way things should be. Let's see wether they will get it done or otherwise.
exactly what I am saying. They know that power truly belongs to the people, if only the people knew. Unfortunately, just look at most people reacting negatively to my comment, reacting negatively to my comment shows how much ethnicity and religion have killed this country. They always fail to see the truth even though they suffer the same thing and sometimes even more than everybody.

azpekuliar:


I am talking about Lagos because the thread is about Lagos state. Please do your findings about the Lagos state pension law because I am definite that the law was crafted to ensure that it did not apply retrospectively. All the bogus pension laws in all the other states (with the exception of Zamfara state that has repealed and abolished theirs) stand equally condemned by me.

I don't know what your problem is or why you are fumming, as mucch as I detest pension laws in Nigeria and even as much as I agree with you that they must be abbolished, the laws are all legal laws.

Now, Lagos state is setting the state to abolish the law and I hope other states do the same thing so what exactly are you still gripping about? Are you mad that they are abolishing the law or that they are not? What are you still upset about?

When they do, you moan and cry and they they don't, you still moan and cry.


Sometimes I wonder if many Nigerians are really sane and rational in the head.

I am not against the law being repealed. You just rushed into my mentions without noting the point I was trying to make. Somebody said past governor, Alhaji Lateef Jakande is a beneficiary of the Lagos state pension law for past governors and I responded saying no, that is not correct. The law was not created by it's designers to be applied retrospectively to any state governors before 1999.

Edo Benefits accruable to former governors of Edo State under the Pension Rights of the Governor and Deputy Governor Law 2007 presently amount to 100 per cent of the salary of the incumbent governor for life, an officer not above Salary grade level 12 as Special Assistant, a personal secretary not below grade level 10 who shall be selected by the former governor from the public service of Edo State. Edo State arguably has the highest number of living former civilian governors with Dr. S. O. Ogbemudia, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Chief Lucky Igbinedion, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor and lately, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

The amount accruable to them presently stands at N11 million per year and N44 million over four years. The SA and personal secretary earning on the average of N300,000 and N100,000 monthly respectively, makes it that the state would expend N24 million on the aides of the five former governors amounting to N96 million over four years.

Governor Godwin Obaseki sign the new pension bill for former governors of Edo State, passed by the House of Assembly last November it would significantly raise the amount being expended on former governors of the state who outnumber former governors elsewhere. That could mean the state providing N200 million each for building a house for each of the former five governors bringing the total expenditure to be expended over four years to N1.14 billion for the former governors alone.

Sadly for you,Obaseki just last year increased the amount spent on pensions for the former governors in Edo state on top of the fact that they have more former governors that the rest of Nigeria and instead of changing the law like they are doing in Lagos, Obaseki is increasing and expanding the the amount of taxpayers money spent on former governors in Edo state.


That ignorant joke is on you.

Anambra Former governors and their deputies from Anambra State are enjoying pensions as provided in the State Governors Pensions Law, 2009.


The law provides for life pension for a person who held office as Governor in accordance with the law, at a rate equivalent to his last salary in office subject to review from time to time by the incumbent Governor on the advice of the state Accountant General. It also provides for an official car, two personal aides and provision of adequate security for his person during his lifetime at the expense of the state government. Other provisions include allowances for cook, steward, driver and gardener to be determined from time to time by the incumbent Governor on the advice of the Head of Service and medical attention for his person, subject to the approval of the incumbent Governor. For a former governor the financial commitments besides medicals and security would run up to N48.96 million while for a deputy governor, it would be N48.52 million. With three former governors eligible and two former deputies, the provision over four years would amount to N243.92 million.

What the useless and incompetent former governors in Anambra are enjoying, but silly Igbos and crying and moaning over Lagos.
