A former Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Chief Nestor Binabo, has appealed to Governor Seriake Dickson to halt ongoing payment of monthly pensions for former governors and their deputies in the state.
He said: “In 2003 the then House of Assembly passed the Pension Bill for governors and deputy governors, which was signed into law by the then governor of the state. “This is still immoral. The right thing to do is to repeal the 2003 pension law for governors and deputies. Binabo said Dickson would further endear himself to the people if he took a bold step to initiate action for the abrogation of the 2003 pension law.
“It will be a disservice and in fact a double jeopardy for such persons to continue to impoverish, under-develop and fleece the state in the name of pensions.
