I hope you noticed that APC lawmakers were among those that passed the constitutional amendment. I hope you also noticed that the beneficiaries also include the speaker, who is a member of the APC.

Life pension for president, vice, governors This is one of the kind of things APC and PDP will never fight about because they both benefit from it... Until we youths chant for total change we will continue to be used as fools that we are. APC and PDP are same idiots

THE National Assembly, yesterday, completed the amendment of the 1999 Constitution with approval of life pension for anybody who has held office as President or Vice President, Senate President or Deputy Senate President, Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.

But beneficiaries of this gesture must be occupants who successfully concluded their terms in office without removal or impeachment.

The amended constitution, which was presented as motion, to the floor of the Senate by the Chairman, Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, for onward transmission to the president for assent, also made it mandatory for the president to appear once a year before the joint sitting of the National Assembly to deliver an address in respect of the state of the nation.

But the president, in the expected constitution, loses the power to solely assent to bills passed by the National Assembly. The same applies to state governors.

The amended Clause read: “Any person who has held office as President or Deputy President of the Senate, Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, shall be entitled to pension for life at a rate equivalent to the annual salary of the incumbent President or Deputy President of the Senate, Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, provided that such a person was not removed from office by the process of impeachment or for breach of any of the provisions of this Constitution.

“The president shall attend a joint meeting of the National Assembly once a year to deliver an address in respect of the state of the nation. He may attend any joint meeting of the National Assembly, either to deliver an address on national affairs including fiscal measures, or to make such statement on the policy of government as he considers to be of national importance.”

Oga ooo. What about teachers and doctors?
Those ones do not deserve life pension for their contribution to the society abi?
They would never do anything about them. Our politicians want to keep everything to themselves. They were there to enrich themselves. *Bamu bamu layo, awa o mo p'ebi npa omo enikookan*
May God deliver the masses.

Imagine hundreds of millions of naira pension money that doesn't require queueing before it is credited
E no go better for all these thieving Nigerian politicians, especially those lawmakers, governors, president, APC and PDP abound.
We indeed need to effect a change in the Nigerian political system at least just to see if there will be any change because for things to improve we need a change
We need a strict leader to check all this self centered legislations in the house, Nigeria needs a front man with a iron hand

We do not know whether things must CHANGE if we must improve,
but for things to improve, there must be CHANGE
#ChangeJonathan, at least he now has life pension to settle with
