SaharaReporters has
learned about a bill
recently introduced inthe Lagos State House
of Assembly to
approve luxurious lifelong benefits to the legislative body’s
speaker and deputy
speaker. The bill proposes to
grant the two officials, who are members of the All Progressives
Congress (APC),
pensions that amount to 100 percent of their
annual basic salary forlife , after their tenure as leaders in the state assembly expires. The bill also proposes
such additional benefits as a free house anywhere in Lagos State and a free vehicle paid for from state funds. In a move that two APC
insiders criticized for
being corrupt and
selfish, the two
legislative officials are also meant to receive unlimited allowance for
furnishing their free
homes, security
personnel for life, and free medical treatment
for the officials and their families for life.
Other obscene benefits include additional
allowances for housing
maintenance, vehicle
maintenance, and entertainment—each category calculated at
10 percent of the
officials’ base salary.
The officials’ utility
allowance is at 20 percent of their base
salary. In addition, the bill stipulates that the state governor and
deputy governor as
well as their families
would receive free medical treatment for life. All designated
members of the state leadership would have
pensionable drivers for life as well. The scandalous bill is
cited as “the Public
Office Holder (Payment
of Pension) Law 2007 (Amendment) Law 2015.” “This bill is a slap on the
faces of the hapless
residents of Lagos
State who pay through their noses for amenities that are mostly inadequate or
absent,” said a critic of the bill, an APC member. He added, “This is a senseless war by some
decadent APC leaders against the public interest.” A member of the state
assembly, who said he found the bill shocking, said the proposed bill was introduced at a
time Nigeria’s public attention was focused squarely on national elections, the counterinsurgency
against Boko Haram in the north.

Ok

"Progressive" members of a very very "progressive" party.
Ali baba and d forty thieves.

Why are people not commenting. Hmm, Lagos is a pacesetter even in things like this

Very soon counselors and Local Government chairmen will be on salary for life... it can start with Lagos state

All the hypocritical gullible agents of change here on NL have suddenly vanished because this criminal act is been carried out by their APC change sloganeering masters from the sophisticated Lagos state house of assembly of all places .

MY VERDICT REMAINS CONSTANT:

PDP + APC = SAME CRIMINAL GANGS DIVIDED INTO 2 DIFFERENT GROUPS WITH SAME PERPETUAL LOOTING OBJECTIVES BUT WITH DIFFERENT SETS OF ENDEMIC GULLIBLE DISCIPLES/ FOLLOWERS.
