The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has asked President Bola Tinubu to stop ex-governors named in his cabinets from earning “life pensions” from their respective states.
The SERAP deputy director said it would be “double emoluments” for the ministers earning pensions, noting that Tinubu must halt the process.Advertisement According to Oluwadare, “the states currently implementing life pensions for former governors reportedly include Jigawa, Kebbi, Jigawa, Ebonyi, Yobe, and Rivers”.
“Nigerians will judge you in part by the conduct, integrity and honesty of the ministers that you appoint to work in your government. Ultimately, the success of your government would depend on the conduct of the ministers that you appoint.
