Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has described as bold and courageous the plan by governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to abolish the pension packages of former governors and their deputies in Lagos State.
The prominent political figure who ruled the state between 1999 and 2007 made known his views via his twitter handle on Wednesday, November 11, 2020.
Mr Tinubu who also praised Sanwo-Olu over year 2021 “budget of rekindled hope” further encouraged APC loyalists to take a cue from the governor on the proposed pension cancellation.
The tweets read…
“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.”
