Normally if not for the thievessss that we have in the political scene, there's no need to waste manpower and resources to initiate and pass this Bill.

Under the law, you are only entitled to pension after 10 years of service for civil servants which they all fall under.

If you like do 8 years, that's less than 10 years, so no pension.

I didn't go through down, but going by the big story, when will others state House of Assemblies do the same?

Including the National Assembly.

I am on netral on Political Parties sympathy.

But I think I like the challenge the LP is dishing where ever they are at the helm.

Poco a poco, we are getting there.

Believe it or not, Nigeria democracy is the fastest growing democracy in the world.

And also much better than that of United States of America.

He will actually be the worst hit, coupled with his state of health.

The others found their way to Abuja, with “established” sources of wealth prior to politics.

Ikpeazu, none.
He was a lecturer before politics. 😮‍💨

There is nothing wrong with what is passed in Lagos State. Thou generous, this is how it should be done.

Abia repeal is based on the fact that their past governors steal and rob their treasury dry before they leave office so they are paid in full already.


nony43:
Meanwhile look at what was passed in Lagos state house of Assembly under Tinubu as a governor.





The Public Office Holder (Payment of Pension) Law No 11 Official Gazette of 2007 states that former governors are entitled to a house each in preferred locations in Lagos and Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Section 2 reads: “One residential house each for the governor and the deputy governor at any location of their choice in Lagos State and one residential house in the Federal Capital Territory for the governor on two consecutive terms.”

The law provides for six new cars every three years, 100 per cent of the basic salary of the incumbent governor (N7.7million per annum), and free health care for the beneficiary and family members.

Former governors will be entitled to furniture allowance – 300 percent of annual basic salary (N23.3million); house maintenance allowance – 10 percent of annual basic salary (N778,296); utility allowance – 20 percent of annual basic salary (N1.5million), and car maintenance allowance – 30 percent of the annual basic salary (N2.3million).

There is also an entertainment allowance, 10 percent of the annual basic salary (N778,296); and a personal assistant who will earn 25 percent of the governor’s annual basic salary (N1.9million).

A former governor is also entitled to eight policemen and two Department of State Services (DSS) operatives for life.I

Please note, i am not behind Labour party or Peter Obi gbajue or deceptions, my main support is for Gov. Alex Otti.

Because this man is setting himself apart from every other politicians out there, and this is what we need in Nigeria.

God Bless Gov. Alex Otti, God bless the people of Abia, God bless Nigeria.

Labour Party is the party for the People.
Forget party.

Good governance is individual, nothing concern party.


The heart is the source of all human good and evil, while affiliation can amplify, it is secondary to the human intentions.
