There are two former governors that by a 2007 law on pension for public office holder, are paid 100 percent of the basic salary of the incumbent governor, receive a house in Lagos and Abuja, six cars every three years and all expenses paid; medical treatment for the governor and members of his family. These persons also receive 300 per cent of their annual basic salary as furniture allowance, 10 percent as maintenance allowance, 20 per cent as utility allowance, and 30 per cent as car maintenance allowance. In a country so severely short in policemen to secure life and property, a former governor will also have eight policemen and two security operatives of the Department of State Services to protect them. These are only for the governors.
Bola Tinubu since 2007 has collected 24 cars under the pension provision and is due to collect another 6 cars in 2022. Babatunde Fashola who left office in 2015 has collected 6 cars and is due to collect his next batch of 6 cars in 2021.
