Bola Tinubu, a previous Governor of Lagos, has proclaimed support for the scrapping of the state pension law.
On Tuesday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu uncovered that a bill on the abolition of the law would be shipped off to the House of Assembly in half a month.
He talked during the 2021 spending introduction to the assembly.
On Wednesday, Tinubu encouraged others, with explicit reference to All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters, to do likewise.
"Congratulations to Governor Sanwo-Olu over the Y2021 budget which he appropriately christened” Budget of Rekindled Hope", he tweeted.
"This audacious and enterprising budget will empower our people and begin to rebuild Lagos State.
“In particular, I would also like to commend the Governor for the plan to commence the repeal of the Pension Law giving pension packages to former governors and their deputies.
"This is a bold and courageous move by Mr. Governor and I wholeheartedly support him. I encourage all APC loyalists to do the same."
In 2007, Tinubu marked the law at the dusk of his two-term residency.
