Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has signed into law a bill seeking to repeal the payment of pensions to former governors and their deputies, a law enacted by the previous PDP government in the state.

ABN TV reports that the Executive Bill, which was passed by the State House of Assembly on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, is now known as the "Abia State Governors and Deputy Governors Pensions (Repeal) Law, 2024."

Signing the new law on Thursday, Governor Otti said government is not about self-interest, adding that self-interest destroys government, his chief press secretary, Kazie Uko said in a statement.

"Even before this new law came into place, a lot of people who have followed our views in the national discuss understand that we were not going to continue the practice of paying pensions and allowances to this set of former government officials," Governor Otti said.

- Good. Very good.

Payment of pensions to ex-governors is a fraud created by Tinubu in 2007

They learned this rubbish from Lagos

The right thing to do.

- Good. Very good.

What's very good about it? It's too soon to celebrate when another Governor can come tomorrow and reinstate it.

A Governor is not a career civil servant so the use of the word pension is inappropriate so is it the word they removed but still retain allowances, car replacements, security staff and courtesy provisions, gifts etc? You better find out

Beyond provision of a permanent befitting place and security for them by DSS after leaving office, I believe that they can meet their needs after office. They are politicians so they will always find other politicians needing them for life.
May God bless Nigeria for ever!Check my signature for free stuffs!

E good say Gov Otti don cancel dis tory of paying pension to exgovs and their deputies, nobody deserve dat kind enjoyment afta leavin office.

Our head boy is working.

Let us give kudos to state like Abia and Kwara that have abolished this nonsense.

Oti is brave. He has done well.

That's what governance is. Eliminating drain pipes in the system and channelling resources where it's needed: the people

Thief'nubu initiated this mindless criminality.

Imagine, A Governor Placing Himself on Pension ... Public Service is a Selfless Service not a Means to Get Rich But We are Very Petty in This Country, Nigeria ....

The Remuneration of All State Governor Should Be Strictly Limited to Exclusive List in The Constitution!

Nigerian & Greeds !
