The Senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki, shared the news on his Facebook page disclosing that he had previously discussed the development with the speaker of the Kwara State house of assembly, Ali Ahmad.
Saraki was the governor of Kwara State from 2003 to 2011.
His post: “I am pleased that following my conversation with Kwara Speaker, Rt. Hon. Ali Ahmad, two months ago, the Bill to suspend the payment of Pension to former Governors and their Deputies when they hold a Political or Public office was passed into law yesterday by the Kwara House of Assembly.
“Moving forward, it is my hope that other State Assemblies take a cue from Kwara State and pass similar pieces of legislation into law.”
