By Obike Ukoh  Nov 22,2023 The debate, whether or not, former governors and others, now occupying different positions are entitled to pension, in addition to accruals from their current political office, has continued to dominate national discourse. Though the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), has been consistent in its campaign against payment of pension to political office holders that stayed only a maximum of eight years in office, former governor of Gombe State, recently  brought the issue, once again to national attention. The former governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo, now the senator representing Gombe North, has asked the state government to suspend the payment of his monthly pension. Dankwambo in a letter he addressed to Gov. Inuwa Yahaya, dated Oct. 4, 2023 noted that the monthly pension was approved under the 2007 Executive Pension Act. He said the government pays him N694,557 as pension every month, adding that after consultation with civil socie

By Bola Atanda Lawal, Abeokuta, Ogun State. Nov 21, 2023 I wish to add my own voice to the ongoing healthy discourse on the above by pointing out some contradictions in one Mr Adedayo Oshodi's rejoinder to Dr Lasisi Olagunju's Monday Lines column on the proposed appointments into the Supreme Court.  Mr Oshodi submitted (or admitted) that Lagos and Ogun States were paired for appointments into the Supreme Court, yet he admitted that when Justice George Oguntade from Lagos State retired in 2010, he was replaced with Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour from Lagos. Shouldn't that slot have gone to Ogun State or could it be that Ogun was too illiterate to have a qualified candidate for a seat in the Supreme Court?  Indeed, I have just been told that the last Justice from Ogun State judiciary to be at the Supreme Court was Justice Ebenezer Babasanya Craig who retired in 1989 (34 years ago). Lagos has monopolised the joint slot of the two states for going to 40 years!  Note

Engr Chris Ogiemwonyi By Dr. Owen Idiaghe November 15, 2023 The political character of any person is his habitual responses to political situations and this is rooted at his or her personality level.  These responses, include a wide range of attitudinal actions and traits formed over the years.  Some are apathy or interest, submission or assertiveness towards authority, suspicion or trust of other groups, empathy, emotional intelligence and several others. Today, the political space in Edo State is bereaved of a man with political character. The result of this missing quality has resulted in the bumping and unstable socio-economic situation in Edo State.  A state that was on a steady rise during the stawardship of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has declined to that of social instability that has put her credibility in doubt with unending political infighting.  As politicians prepares for the September 2024 governorship election, the various parties must as a matter of fact, consi
