TINTINABULATION:
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.
That is great. Did Ogun state succeeded in passing the law?

Gbenga Daniel wrote to the Ogun State government to SUSPEND his pension as a former governor since he's a serving senator.
This implies that the payment must continue after his senatorial tenure. Abia is talking about total abolition. How is Ogun the pacesetter on this issue?

The best bill by Abia State House of Assembly. These useless thieves who grounded a once vibrant state through mediocrity, avarice and open stealing.

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
The only way to go in this country is to make Political Offices less attractive using minimum wage .... that way we can attract patriots instead of money bags who are willing to loot at any given opportunity

This is Lagos, home of Jagaban

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
Lagos can never do this in a billion years
