Gov. Otti Signs Law Stopping Pensions For Ex – Governors, Deputies In Abia
Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, has signed into law a bill to repeal the payment of pensions to former governors and their deputies, a law enacted by the previous PDP government in the state.
The Executive Bill, which was passed by the State House of Assembly on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, is now known as the “Abia State Governors and Deputy Governors Pensions (Repeal) Law, 2024.”
Signing the new law on Thursday, Governor Otti said government is not about self-interest, adding that self-interest destroys government.
