I am not sure Lagos is different considering that Bola Ahmed Tinubu got similar (some will say better) deal many years ago and we are yet to see reactions of the public.

Can this be true? Lagos is different from other states. If true, you will see the reactions of the public.

The bill proposes to grant the two officials, who are members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), pensions that amount to 100 percent of their annual basic salary for life, after their tenure as leaders in the state assembly expires.The bill also proposes such additional benefits as a free house anywhere in Lagos State and a free vehicle paid for from state funds.In a move that two APC insiders criticized for being corrupt and selfish, the two legislative officials are also meant to receive unlimited allowance for furnishing their free homes, security personnel for life, and free medical treatment for the officials and their families for life. Other obscene benefits include additional allowances for housing maintenance, vehicle maintenance, and entertainment—each category calculated at 10 percent of the officials' base salary. The officials' utility allowance is at 20 percent of their base salary."SMH- IkhideStalk my blog at www.xokigbo.comFollow me on Twitter: @ikhideJoin me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ikhide
