Barely a year to his exit from office, Governor
Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State has,
initiated a law to enable him pocket a
whooping N200 million in annual pay after his
tenure expires. Mr. Akpabio is allegedly also
demanding other benefits including a new
house, brand new cars, furniture and luxurious
living for the rest of his life.
The controversial law, is known as Akwa Ibom
State Governors and Deputy Governors Pension
Bill 2014. If passed by the assembly, the bill
would repeal the Governors and Deputy
Governors Pension Law, 2006. To underscore
the urgency of the proposed law, the Governor
has allegedly indicated that he wanted it
passed hurriedly so it could come into force on
June 1.
