BREAKING: Abdulrazaq plans to stop Saraki, other former governors’ pensions

Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq on Friday, said he will put in place measures to repeal the law that awards pension to all former governors and their deputies that have once served in the state.

AbdulRahman disclosed this in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, on Friday.

The governor said he would Initiate a bill to the State House of Assembly that passed the law that former governors and their deputies be paid pension to repeal the law.
