Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, has declared that he would refuse any offering of pension as an ex-Governor if offered such by the state government.
He made this intimation on Twitter after a Federal High Court in Lagos declared it unconstitutional for former governors occupying public offices to keep receiving emoluments from their states.
He said, “I have never requested for or collected one kobo as pension from River State Government.
“If offered, I will politely decline and request that the money should be given to Rivers State pensioners.
“I do not believe that I should receive pension as ex-governor while serving as a minister.”
Recall that a Federal High Court in Lagos had on Wednesday ruled that it is illegal for former governors now federal lawmakers and ministers to still be earning pensions in their previous capacity from their states.
