Abia State Assembly Passes Bill To Stop Pension For Ex-Governors, Deputies by Gjrich(op): 8:55am On Mar 20, 2024
Former governors and deputies from Abia state will no longer enjoy pension benefits after their tenures have expired.

On Tuesday, the Abia House of Assembly passed a bill to stop the payment of pensions to former governors and their deputies in the state.

The bill is entitled: “A Bill (H.A.B 11smiley for a Law to Revoke The Abia State Governors and Deputy Governors Pensions Law No 4 of 2001 and for other Matters connected in addition to that.”

It was sponsored by Hon. Uchanna Okoro, the Majority Leader and member Representing Arochukwu State Constituency.

The Speaker, Mr Emmanuel Emeruwa, announced the bill’s passage after its first and second readings, consideration at the committee of the whole, and third reading during the day’s plenary.


Emeruwa, while congratulating members, said that the bill would reduce the state’s governance expenses and redirect resources towards development.

He said that once the governor assented to the bill, it would be known as “Abia State Governors and Deputy Governor’s (Repeal) Law 2024.”


The Speaker said the bill would take effect immediately, Tuesday, March 19, 2024.

A former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Senator Gbenga Daniel started this crusade. Ogun State is the cradle of civility and every good thing in Nigeria.

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.

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

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 toohuh

Re: Abia State Assembly Passes Bill To Stop Pension For Ex-Governors, Deputies by olisaEze(m):
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 other SE States will vote competence over party or tribe. While the rest of us will still be stuck on defending certificateless drug barons & drug addicts, expecting to squeeze water from stone! grin
