GOVERNOR Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, Tuesday, said he did not sign any new law approving jumbo pay and other allowances as pensions for ex-governors.
Okowa who spoke through the State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu at a news conference in Asaba, insisted that the pension law for Ex-Governors has been in place in the state since 2005.
He pointed out that the only time the State House of Assembly affected minor changes in the law was in 2019 when the House amended the law to include the late Prince Sam Obi who was acting Governor between Nov. 10, 2010, and Jan. 10, 2011.
Vanguard newspaper reports that Aniagwu challenged the purveyors of the fake news to provide the date the law was passed by the House and when it was signed by the state governor.
