Senate President Bukola Saraki has called on house of assemblies to take a cue from Kwara and pass their own versions of the bill suspending payment of pension to former governors and deputy governors.

Kwara assembly passed the bill on Tuesday.

In a statement on Wednesday, Saraki commended Ali Ahmad, speaker of the assembly, for working to pass the bill.

The nation’s number three citizen said he influenced the action of the lawmakers.

“I am pleased that following my conversation with Kwara speaker, Rt. Hon. Ali Ahmad, two months ago, the bill to suspend the payment of pension to former governors and their deputies when they hold a political or public office was passed into law yesterday by the Kwara house of assembly,” Saraki said.

“Moving forward, it is my hope that other state assemblies take a cue from Kwara state and pass similar pieces of legislation into law.”

Saraki governed Kwara between 2003 and 2011.

Saraki is a great man, I envy the people of Kwara state cause I wish he governed my Edo state, we would have gone places...

He has taken the right step by suspending the pension, others should follow

Before we can forgive him, he should follow the example of Zacchaeus ... "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.”

greatly appreciated

You are so naive and ignorant to believe this man intentionally initiated this move. It was when his case started with CBT(false asset declaration) some investigation Journalist exposed that he was still collecting Pension as a former governor of Kwara state. That was then the Kwara state Govt. decided to stop it. It's not like they don't know it's not right or unlawful. They are only trying to stop other looters from looting more than them that's why he is speaking against it now.
