There is no plan by the Lagos State House of Assembly (lshaofficial) to repeal the state’s pension law permitting former governors and other public office holders to receive pensions, its spokesman Tunde Braimoh said on Sunday.

Braimoh, who is the Chairman, House Committee on Information and Strategy, told the News Agency of Nigeria that Lagos Assembly would not go the way of the Zamfara Assembly which recently repealed pension law for its former governors.

The court also directed the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to challenge the legality of states’ pension laws permitting former governors and other ex-public officials to receive such pensions.Braimoh, however, faulted the court ruling that ordered Malami to take immediate legal action toward the abolishment of state laws that permit “former governors to enjoy governors’ emoluments while drawing normal salaries and allowances in their new political offices.

He argued that separation of powers as enshrined in the constitution empowers the legislature to make laws, the executive to implement and the judiciary to interpret the laws.
