Lagos should do the same.” Mr Aivoji said all former governors and their deputies should no longer enjoy pension benefits after the expiration of their tenure.recalls that the Lagos House Assembly, on 25 May 2021, passed into second reading a bill seeking to repeal the law which provides for pension and other emoluments for former governors and deputies.
