Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and 13 other former governors in the 10th Senate
to disclose the total amount of life pensions, if any, that have been received from their states as former governors.
The letter read in part: “Nigerians expect you to act in the public interest, including by ending the collection of any life pensions from your respective states and returning any such pensions that may have been collected to the treasury. “We urge you to emulate former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, who stopped collecting life pension as a former governor of Kwara State and described life pensions by former governors as “immoral”, following a request by SERAP.
