Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State had announced plans of the State Government to stop the payment of pension packages to former governors and former deputy governors in the State.
This announcement is coming three days after Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State informed lawmakers in the State House of Assembly about his administration’s effort to stop the pension of former governors and deputies in the south-western state.
The statement according to Governor Abdulrazaq’s Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye explained that the governor would send a bill to the State House of Assembly next week, requesting the lawmakers to immediately repeal the law awarding pension packages to former governors and deputies in Kwara.
He explained that the governor’s decision was in line with his campaign mantra and proof that he recognised himself as a product of democracy.
“The governor has listened to voices of the majority of the citizens opposing the pension law for former governors and deputy governors.
