The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq, on Wednesday presented an executive bill to repeal the law granting payment of monthly pension to former Governors and Deputy Governors before the State House of Assembly.

The Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Yakubu Danladi, announced the presentation of the Bill during a plenary on Wednesday while reading the Governor’s message to the House.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the executive bill presented by the governor was in response to the wish of the citizenry.

While presenting the request of the governor, Danladi said the bill was tailored toward realizing the cardinal objectives of the state government on prudent resources management.

The bill was unanimously agreed by plenary members to have passed first reading after the presentation of the governor’s request for consideration.

The Speaker later referred the bill to the House Committee on Rules and Business to slate the bill for deliberation during the next legislative sitting of the House.

Recall that West African Pilot News earlier reported that the former aide to former Kwara Governor, Bukola Saraki, has asked AbdulRasaq to make his finding before going on public to make any announcement, alleging that the law had been repealed under the administration of his predecessor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.
