Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has challenged the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and 13 other former governors in the 10th Senate to disclose the total amount of life pensions, if any, that they have received from their respective states as former governors.
SERAP is also urging them to clarify if they have collected and/or are currently collecting life pensions as former governors from their respective states, while asking them to stop collecting any such pensions and return the pensions collected to the treasury.
In the letter dated 3 June 2023 and signed by SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the organization said: “Your constitutional oath of office, under the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) requires you to publicly reject and return any pensions.”
