What Tinubu Said As Sanwo-Olu Vows To Scrap Lagos Pension Law

Lagos Jagaban, Bola Tinubu has declared support for the repeal of the state pension law by Governor Sanwo-Olu.

 

 

OpenLife Nigeria had earlier reported that Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday said that a bill on the abrogation of the law would be sent to the House of Assembly in a few weeks.

 

 

The Governor made the statement during the 2021 budget presentation to the legislature.

 

Reacting to the new development a day after, Tinubu urged others, with specific reference to All Progressives Congress (APC) loyalists, to do the same.

“Congratulations to Governor Sanwo-Olu over the Y2021 budget which he appropriately christened” Budget of Rekindled Hope”, the APC Chieftain tweeted.

 

“This audacious and enterprising budget will empower our people and begin to rebuild Lagos State.

 

“In particular, I would also like to commend the Governor for the plan to commence the repeal of the Pension Law giving pension packages to former governors and their deputies.

 

“This is a bold and courageous move by Mr. Governor and I wholeheartedly support him. I encourage all APC loyalists to do the same.”

 

OpenLife Nigeria recalls that Bola Tinubu in 2007 signed the law at the twilight of his two-term tenure.
