Okay so now... we are fully behind Alex Otti.

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.

If he was doing badly you have linked labour party and PETER OBI, continue to deceive yourself.

PETER OBI is the solution that Nigeria needs

Ikpeyi:



Wetin Ikpeazu do you....TA Orji and Orji Uzor Kalu were also former governors and their deputies. Your hatred for Ikpeazu will kee you and your household.


You can never near the positions Ikpeazu has held in your lifetime.

ikpeazu is a foolish man even ochendo abi what is that his predecessor name is also a short fool!!! That state was a big mess and you defending the fool!!!!! A fool that played politics on a project that would have changed abia state in 2019 infact I don't understand some of these politicians,they supposed to know they will exit that seat after 8 years.

I am not from South East but the way he played politics with that project just made me believe he is a big fool!!!!

Good things happening in Abia for once!

They should also scrap the pension for house of assembly members.

This is commendable, other states should follow suit. This are the people that have their people in mind.

The former kerosene State is now running on jet fuel, all because the people for the first time looked beyond political & tribal affiliations. By 2027 I bet the rest SE States will vote competence over party or tribe. While the rest will still be stuck on defending certificateless drug barons & drug addicts, expecting water to drop from stone!

Kerosene state funny name

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

A prime example of a useless criminal

Commendable

Imagine past governors getting pensions while serving as Senators

Politicians are enjoying the inefficiencies in Nigerian government

That law was drafted by ex VP osinbajo when he was attorney general under ex governor Tinubu.

This is the type of bill we have been waiting for. Hoping the money will be directed to a judicious use. The amount of pension some ex go eenors are collecting in a year is enough to pay teachers for months in their state. Searchlight into Lagos, Rivers, Always Ibom, Kogi, Delta states. These states their ex governors are really milking them dry yearly.

If you leave in abia state you will know that abians have been voting competence since 1999. It's the criminal state capture of abia state by PDP that has held development back for years. Every election has been rigged since 1999. 2023 could have gone the way of other previous elections if not for God's intervention through nnenna otti.

I wish this can be replicate in my state Lagos state..

What one man is taking alone is enough to feed the whole of Osun state

This is highly commendable! It is robbery to loot the state treasury and still be getting pensions from the dry purse you left behind.

I salute the house and the Governor of Abia State.

Can Lagos do this too

that means u dont read much about lagos govt,google or search d internet. Sanwo olu made this move in 2020 and dt naughty tinubu acted as if he is in support but later went back to attack sanwo olu. Former gov of ogun state gbenga daniel reject the bonuses i think this year or last year,saying they shouldnt send it to him again.

How can you loot and impoverish a state for 24 years combine and still get to collect pension from the left over they are managing.? That's how you know that our politicians are devils... Wicked devils

This is a good. I also hope the same house will pass a bill stopping House of Assembly members from getting pensions after their tenure expires

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

Until he decides to run for the presidency, your bigotry will become fully activated. We know how your brain works

It seems Abia State is the only state that is ready to be progressive. God bless these law makers. I keep saying it, the day Igbo is ready to take up their destiny, they are unstoppable.

See, Igbo will overtake Lagos very soon if Lagos is not careful.

We need to stop awarding senators and house of rep, and rep in states money for community development. We shoukd erase that rubbish and let them do the only thing they should do...that is amend and make laws. Simple.

Ikpeazu will be pained

Nope.
Get your information right.
Ikpeazu is not receiving any pensions.
This administration even confirmed it.

This won't settle well for oke ikpeazu and his cronies.

U just dey call someone without proof.
Alex Otti's administration has confirmed that Okezie Ikpeazu is not on pension list. He wasn't collecting any pensions

Kudos to Abia State House of Assembly and I also hope other states Assembly will also join the cue,cos this so call pension after expiration of their tenure is milking the states dry.

Outstanding! Great effort by the current team of politicians in Abia state, from the Governor to the lawmakers! Set yourselves apart from all our other politifcians in Nigeria!!!

Some of those criminals are still in the senate collecting salaries, kickbacks, constituency allowance, security allowance, etc and pension at the same time. Wicked and overly greedy people.
