Former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has complained that he has not been paid his pension entitlements for six years.

Kwankwaso also said the state government did not build house or office for him, which is provided in a law that every former governor should be provided either an office or a house as one of his benefits.

He made the allegations in an interview with BBC Hausa servic.

The former governor said he is the only one who served as governor in the state and did not enjoy the benefits.

However, Kwankwaso said it was likely because he was part of the opposition that made him be treated in that manner.

“If I were with them, I would have to be paid my benefits or my monthly pension. And I agree it happened because I am part of the opposition. So let them go and enjoy it,” Senator Kwankwaso said.

My name forwarded to EFCC for sabotage

The former governor said in early 2021, his name and those of nine other people were forwarded to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), alleging that it was done to tarnish his image.

He added that he was ready to answer any invitation from the EFCC whenever they do so.

“I thank God, in my 30 years of been in politics nobody has ever complained that his five naira has been stolen or get lost, nobody.”

Kwankwaso also expressed his displeasure over the security situation in Nigeria.

He said he was amazed at what the government was saying about security and the results that were obtainable physically.

“I am surprised with the manner that the government of the day is handling the security challenges and the outcomes.

“Some Communities in Katsina State that share border with the Niger Republic are pleading with Nigerien Army to rescue them.”

It is crazy that these men are still entitled to jumbo pension after even after looting their states dry

Normally, una no suppose get any benefits after una don milk the state economy dry during una regime.

Imagine a former governor now serving as a part of the senate still receiving benefits as a former governor. That's the mystery of our democracy...

Greedy thieves!

That's a family Northern problem, go and sort it out... Nigeria is facing more problems at the moments than your 6 years pension .. Many of you owned our parents pensions of several years with their gratuity sef and we no die. All the money you don embezzle never reach you? Politicians!

Westin con concern us

But Kwankwaso just worked only 8 years and demands retirement benefits yet people in civil service for over 20 years are being owed pension

Greedy thief

No past government official deserves any entitlement after his tenure. All the ones Una don steal nko?

Idiotic thief.

Retirement benefit for how many years of looting?

Animals..

All these greedy politicians... Looking for pension after the billions of $$$ you and your cohorts have embezzled.
Youths vote wisely oo.. Next election isn't far...

Pension Kee you there

.

Mr Kwankwaso the victim, how many years have you denied others their benefits? Stingy and wicked leaders.
These politicians keep opening can of worms but doing nothing to solve the problem.
Nigeria has fallen.

Yeeye people

His stolen funds is running out faster than his mouth.

Na dem dem
Notin konsign we

Benefits kee you dia

They steal and stash away billions and still want pension,is there a curse on black Africans?

Ganja man

He Who laugh last laugh best!

See how shameless these politicians are.
Many of them their feeding, employment,family welfare and livelihood depends on being paid in one way or the other by government.
Once they are totally cut off from government,not being in power again,not having contracts or being paid humongous pension benefits,they begin to struggle in life.

That is the problem with Nigerian politics.


It is filled with vindictiveness.

Alaye is broke�

Alaye is broke

Who cares? what about huge amount of money you have accumulated when you were a Governor?

And so,you guys have denied the poor masses of their rights and privileges for over 30years now.

Go home and bear it like a man.
