Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has sent an open letter to Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, urging him to use his good officesand position to: “publicly reject life pensions and brand-new vehicles for lawmakers bill passed by the Kano State House of Assembly, and to prevail on themembers of the House to immediatelydrop the bill, and to honour their fiduciary duties imposed by the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 and Nigeria’s international anti-corruption obligations.
But rather than acting as the ‘servants of the people’, the lawmakers have acted in a self-serving way and pushing to enrich themselves at the expense of the people of Kano.”“All public officials including lawmakers must act consistently with the purposes of the governmental trust: the good of the people and the security of their persons, liberty, and property.
vanguardngr But Ganduje himself will enjoy same after leaving office. Though the Pension ReformAct of 2004, has made Pension contributory, and all these political office holders never contribute to the Pension fund, while in office. Where then, are the drawing theirs from? DAYLIGHTROBBERY.
vanguardngr SERAP still feigning ignorannce...😃 😃
vanguardngr Just when we are trying to build hope for a better Nigeria, some politicians are bend on total damage for this country. Life pension !!!
vanguardngr He better listen to someone or risk a riot
vanguardngr The Kano State House Assembly is a rubber stamp legislature puppeteered by Governor Ganduje. He will reward the house members handsomely with that pensions and luxury cars for life as a payment for the balkanization of Kano Emirate. Ganduje is a 'chop chop Governor'.
vanguardngr Why is there an outrage against the law makers? Why is there no outrage against president, VP, SP, DSP, Speaker, Deputy speaker house of reps, Gov, Dep Gov. If all the above can enjoy pension, why not for state assemblies? What is good for the goose is good for the gander
vanguardngr Ganduje can not reject the law - makers. Because one good turn deserve another. The law - makers helped him to split the Kano Emirate. So, it's his turn to bless them for job well done...
vanguardngr Thank you SERAP for standing up against these Govonors and life pension, Nigerians please wake up
vanguardngr This Ganduje is quite a rare breed, dude has made it a point of duty to completely destroy a life long culture.
vanguardngr What's the point of fat pensions if you can't live to enjoy it in the current atmosphere of kidnappings and banditry in the north?
vanguardngr He won't. They empowered him to weaken the kano emirate
