Ebun- Olu Adegboruwa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria on Friday posited that no ex-governor should be paid as high as N10m monthly pension no matter how rich the state is.

It will be recalled that former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari has demanded that Governor Bello Matawalle, pay his outstanding allowance and pension.
In a letter dated October 17 addressed to the governor, Yari said he is entitled to N10 million monthly as an upkeep allowance, but that he has only been paid twice since he left the office. He said the law which was passed on March 23, 2019, by the State House of Assembly, provides for the entitlement of former governors, deputies, speakers and deputy speakers were amended in March and that it should not be truncated.

But speaking on Channels television programme ‘Sunrise Daily’, Adegboruwa said it is absurd that these ex-governors who are opposed to payment of N30 000 minimum wage for civil servants are demanding as high as N10m monthly as a pension.

” There is no reason anybody should earn N10m and above as an ex-governor. The amount is just so high and that is why it is generating this public outcry” he said.

Who did this to us as a country

If true, then it's insane. The ex gov, his deputy and all those that passed the bill should be arrested.

There is so much secrecy in nigeria politics. Same governors while serving, their salary is below 1m, even president's salary not up to 2m monthly, how come their pensions will be geometrically higher than when serving?
