Save Enugu Group alerts on plot to resume Enugu gubernatorial Pension Bill Amendment
The Save Enugu Group (SEG) has raised the alarm over moves by some members of the Enugu State House of Assembly to bring back the suspended amendment of the Enugu Gubernatorial Pension Law.
SEG cautions the constituents of the Speaker and House Leader to get ready for a recall process as soon as the House carries out the plot to reintroduce the controversial bill.
“We recall that the State House of Assembly earlier told Enugu people that they merely suspended legislative action on the bill. It was not the demand of Enugu people,” a statement by SEG reads.
“They must be told that our dear state cannot afford to spend N2 billion annually on already rich former governors and their deputies for life”. SEG insists.
Tagged “obnoxious” as well as “clandestine move by desperate and insensitive members of the Enugu State House of Assembly to resurrect the suspended amendment of the controversial Enugu Gubernatorial Pension law,” in the statement signed by its national coordinator, Chief Willy Ezugwu, and emailed to News Express, SEG warns that “any attempt to reintroduced the amendments will be strongly resisted today, tomorrow and forever.”
“The collective demand of the people is the withdrawal of the bill, not the suspension of legislative action on it. We, therefore, insist that the bill must be formerly withdrawn,” SEG demands.
“The desperation of the principal officers of the Enugu State House of Assembly to satisfy the interest of their pay masters will set the state on fire,” the group said.
Demanding for immediate withdrawal of the bill SEG also asked for “unreserved apologies from the Speaker of Enugu State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Edward Uchenna Ubosi, and the House leader, Hon. Ikechukwu Ezeugwu to the people they are seeking to impoverish.”
