AWKA—THE Anambra State House of Assembly has passed a bill to give adequate pensions, allowances and other privileges on former democratically elected Governors and Deputy Governors of the state.

With the passage of the law, the Anambra State Governors’ Law, 2005 and the subsequent amendment were repealed.

Cited as the State Governors Pensions Law, 2009, the bill was sponsored by Lilian Okosi, P. I. Obichukwu, Tim Egboka, Nnamdi Ezike and Bridget Chukwuka.

Essentially, the bill provides for life pension for a person who held office as Governor in accordance with the law, at a rate equivalent to his last salary in office subject to review from time to time by the incumbent Governor on the advice of the state Accountant General.

It also provides for an official car, two personal aides and provision of adequate security for his person during his lifetime at the expense of the state government.

Other provisions include allowances for cook, steward, driver and gardener to be determined from time to time by the incumbent Governor on the advice of the Head of Service and medical attention for his person, subject to the approval of the incumbent Governor.

What exactly is your point? Did Obi say Anambra doesn't pay past governors pension?

immortalcrown:
Obi never said Anambra past governors do not receive pension. What Obi said is he rejects all the things the state government gives outgoing governors. Things like pension, house and land.

What exactly is your point?

Yes that is what he and his supporter keep saying. Its all over that he is different. I'm not supporter of any but I'm only saying all of them are the same.

nickyvil:
He didn't receive it but the billed was sponsored and passed under his administration, common only a fool will believe the lies.

immortalcrown:
You are the one fooling yourself. Otherwise, show how the bill was initiated by him and how he benefitted from the bill.

Hmm
I am totally tired of these people called Nigerians.
People like us are trying to savage Nigeria from collapse, but some are hell bent on bringing it down, all in the name of supporting their oppressors, so that at the end of the day they can sing along the street "we won" as usual. SMH
AH, shey dem swear for you people ni? Suffer no dey taya you?
Is this not the reason people like us moved out of the country? Imagine a day job here equals to 80k in Nigeria and you think we are happy with this?
If Nigeria is good, do you think we'll be here?

My prayer is anyone who supports whatever will bring Nigeria down will suddenly die a shameful death by the grace of God.

We will not retreat, we will not rest.

"Nigeria will be free". Very soon

I’ve never seen such deluded sets of craps.
You want us to believe your Aspirant without manifesto ? You want us to trust everything he has inside his thoughts ? What kind of government that shields himself from criticism ?

If Obi wins Nigeria will turn upside down those people who claims everywhere is no mans land will eventually actualize their dream because their grand patron is there. They’ll claim all lands or dictate to the land owners.Obi will be Nepotism 2.0 for sure his campaign list says it all .
The most annoying thing about obidents is that they still insult you if you burst their principal‘s lies that alone made me loose my support for them it shows they ain’t sincere either They just want power at all cost .

A Pension bill for ex-gov. was passed under his administration with him been fully in support of it. Infact he clamoured strongly for it.
Then on completion of his tenure. He rejected it all.

It means just one thing only: he had stolen enough.
