Former Governor of Abia State and Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has debunked rumors that he was paid pension by his successors, according to Punch Newspaper.
One of the Senators aide said, “As a former governor
of the state, T. A. Orji did not pay him (Kalu) a dime as pension and Okezie
Ikpeazu continued in the same manner.”
In
a similar development, another former Governor of the state, Senator T A Orji’s
Liaison Officer, Ifeanyi Umere, said the ex-governor had not been receiving a
pension.
“Throughout
as the governor of Abia for eight years, T. A. Orji has not received any penny
as pension,” he said, calling on the state Assembly to come out with any
evidence available to them.
Also, immediate past Deputy Governor of the State, Rt Hon Ude Okochukwu said,
“Nobody has given me a dime. I am aware of the law. For me, it (the law) is as
good as not being there. If all past governors said they have not been paid
anything, what is the essence of the existence of the law?”
