The Zamfara state House of Assembly on Tuesday abolished law that allows jumbo payment of pension and other allowances to former governors, their deputies, Speakers and their deputies in the state.
The abolishment of the law came barely 48 hours after a letter written by a former governor, Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, to Zamfara State Government demanding for the payment of his upkeep allowances running into millions of Naira leaked into the public.
The letter generated heated debates within and outside the state.
According to the letter, the monthly upkeep allowance for an ex governor, in the state is N10 million and it is backed by law, which was amended and assented on March 23, 2019.
He reminded the state government that the pension and upkeep allowance are not in the category of privileges that can be truncated without any justifiable reason.
