”I am pleased that following my conversation with Kwara Speaker, Rt. Hon. Ali Ahmad, two months ago, the Bill to suspend the payment of Pension to former Governors and their Deputies when they hold a Political or Public office was passed into law yesterday by the Kwara House of Assembly. Moving forward, it is my hope that other State Assemblies take a cue from Kwara State and pass similar pieces of legislation into law”
