Politics / Re: Senators, Reps Lament Cash Crunch In N’assembly by surmeister(m): 1:40pm On Jul 11, 2016 |
21 senators currently receiving pensions from government
as ex-governors and deputy governors.
The current senators who once served as governors are
Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano,
Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom,
Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam
Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of
Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda
Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara,
Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe,
Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka
Adeleke of Osun.
The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun
Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia.
Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of
Taraba state.
Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as
Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and
Fashola (SAN).).
In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and
deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries
of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official
car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide;
a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a
sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million
for his deputy governor.
In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic
salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential
house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in
Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the
deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and
two cars for the deputy every four years.
It is alleged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two
houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at
N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also
receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a
furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be
paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually
for life.
This is the reality for all the 21 ex governors and deputy
governors who are currently serving as senators. This same
is also true of ex governors who are now serving as
Ministers.
NOW ASK:
How many years did these guys serve their states as
governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8 years? Is
that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they
are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?
As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public
servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as
a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim
pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in
Nigeria?
IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......
Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you
must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government
at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply
to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate
President David Mark.
Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the
current finance minister to discuss the recession of
Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30
million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our
"honourables" are not interested to make laws that could
restructure our country into economically autonomous
federating Zones/Regions to save the country from
sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria.
The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians
are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations
while these enemies of state continue to rape us.
THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!
Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to
maintain each member of our National Assembly in a
country where nothing works, and 80% of the population
earn below 300 Naira a day? A working day earning of a
senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more
than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70
commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the
US president or 9 times the salary of US congressmen.
Please say NO to looting of Nigeria in the name of
democracy. 4 Likes 1 Share |
