Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has commended Governor Alex Otti of Abia State for repealing the law backing pension payment for ex-governors and their deputies.
He described the payment of pension to former governors and their deputies as outrageous and a daylight robbery.
Obasanjo spoke on Friday when he paid Otti a visit at his country home in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area of ABIA State.
While commending Otti for his courage in repealing the law, the former President expressed the hope that other governors would follow his footsteps.
He said, “I watched the television and I saw repealing of Abia pensions, and I asked you; what exactly is this? You said to me that the pension scheme for former governors here was too outrageous.
