The national leader of the All Progressives Congress APC Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu has endorsed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s move to stop paying pension to ex-Lagos Governors and their deputies. 


Recall, Eons Intelligence reported that Governor Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday, November 10 announced plans to repeal the Public Office Holder (Payment of Pension Law 2007) in Lagos while presenting the Government’s budget proposal for 2021 fiscal year to members of the Lagos State House of Assembly in Alausa, Ikeja.


In a statement released on Wednesday, November 11, Tinubu commended Governor Sanwo-Olu’s “courageous” plan to commence the repeal of the Pension Law giving pension packages to former governors and their deputies.


Below is the Statement released by Bola Tinubu who was the governor of Lagos state from 1997-2007:


"Congratulations to Governor Sanwo-Olu over 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."
