Barely annually to his exit from office, Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State has, initiated a law that will let him pocket a whooping N200 million in annual pay after his tenure expires. Mr. Akpabio is allegedly also demanding other benefits including a brand new house, brand-new cars, furniture and luxurious living for the remainder of his life.
The controversial law, is called 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 enter into force on June 1.
