Former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has commended Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his plan to repeal the Public Office Holder (Payment of Pension Law 2007), which provides life pensions and other entitlements to former Governors and their Deputies.
Sanwo-Olu had on Monday announced his decision on Tuesday while presenting the 2021 budget to the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Tinubu in a statement reacting to this described Sanwo-Olu’s decision as “a bold and courageous move.”
He said: “Congratulations to Governor Sanwo-Olu on the Y2021 budget which he appropriately christened” Budget of Rekindled Hope”. 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.”
