Ogun: Gbenga Daniel Asks Abiodun To Stop His Monthly Pension, Allowances by Bobloco(op): 6:41am On Jul 07, 2023

Former Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel, has asked the incumbent Governor, Dapo Abiodun to stop the monthly pension being paid to him by the State government.

Daniel, in a letter titled, ‘Request To Suspend My Monthly Pension and Allowances’, Daniel asked that the N676,376.95 pension/allowances he is entitled to as a former governor be suspended.

According to him, the suspension of the pension was in compliance with his conscience, moral principle and ethical code against double emoluments that a serving Senator, who hitherto was a former State governor, shall not be entitled to the payment of pension and allowances from such a state.

Daniel, who is the new Senator representing Ogun East, was inaugurated alongside other Senators on June 13 at the National Assembly.

The Senator noted that he had not benefitted from any welfare packages, be it medical, furniture, transportation and others since he left office in 2011.

The letter addressed to Gov Abiodun read: “I write to request for the suspension of my monthly pension/allowances of 676,376.95 (gross) (Six Hundred and Seventy-Six Thousand, Three Hundred Seventy-Six Naira, Ninety-Five Kobo) being paid as a former Executive Governor of Ogun State.

“This request is in compliance with my conscience, moral principle and ethical code against double emoluments that a serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who hitherto was a former State Governor, shall not be entitled to the payment of pension and allowances from such state.

“It would be recalled that on Tuesday 13th June 2023, I was, with other elected Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, inaugurated as members of the 10th National Assembly.

“It is pertinent to also have it on record that since I left the office in 2011, I have not benefitted from any welfare packages be it Medical, Furniture, transportation etc. Thanks in anticipation.”

It's surprising that four years of living as a lord qualifies one for pension which runs into hundreds of thousand. But after working for about thirty-five years, majority receive pension in tens of thousand. Unfortunately, at times, even the tens of thousand is difficult to pay, but the hundreds of thousand comes regularly at the appropriate time.

Nigerians are very easy to manipulate .

You only need to say what they want to hear and they will start singing your praise.

This is the governor that govern Ogun State for good eight years with little or nothing to show.

Nigerians are funny

This is what all the past governors must do to cut cost of governance.

It's the state gov who's still paying him despite the fact he's now also being paid as a senator, that needs to be arrested for wastage.

Wow... That's good. Let other ex-governors follow suit, but greed will never allow them. There is a serious hardship in the land. People are dieing due to lack of money to meet their daily needs which are essential. The orphans and widows are crying out for help. Such monies can cushion all these issues
