Bola Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos, has declared
support for the repeal of the state pensions law.
On Tuesday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu disclosed that a
bill on the abrogation of the law would be sent to the House of Assembly in a
few weeks.
He spoke during the 2021 budget presentation to the
legislature.
On Wednesday, Tinubu urged others, with specific reference
to All Progressives Congress (APC) loyalists to do the same.
“Congratulations to Governor Sanwo-Olu over the Y2021 budget
which he appropriately christened” Budget of Rekindled Hope”, he tweeted.
“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.”
In 2007, Tinubu signed the law at the twilight of his
two-term tenure.
