Politics: EXPOSED! See List Of 21 Senators Currently Getting Double Pay .. by tayomautin(m): 1:01pm On Sep 11, 2016 |
A SELF DECEIVING COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA
Twenty-one 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 I ASK:
How many years did these guys serve their states
as governors and deputy governors? Is it more
than 8years? 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
States/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.
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 & 80%
of 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 9times the salary of US
congressmen.
Please say NO to looting of Nigeria in the name of
democracy by sending this text to at least 5
others.
I think the country must have a referendum on
salaries of senators. This must happen very
quickly.
If the government can't we the masses must do
something.
