Precisely between May 29, 2019 and now, the following state chief executives have been in the news over some irreconcilable differences with their predecessors: Governor Seyi Makinde versus Senator Abiola Ajimobi, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu versus Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, Governor Matawelle versus Alhaji Abdullaziz Yari, Governor Bala Mohammed versus Mohammed Abubakar, and Governor Emeka Ihedioha versus Senator Rochas Okorocha .
Part of the letter read: “I wish to humbly draw your attention to the provision of the law on the above subject matter which was amended and assented to on the 23 March 2019. The law provides, among other entitlements of the Former Governor, a monthly upkeep allowance of Ten Million Naira only and a pension equivalent to the salary he was receiving while in office.
“It is on the record that the backlog of pension and gratuity for local government workers and primary school teachers left behind by Abdulaziz Yari’s administration stands at N3 billion while that of the state government’s retired civil servants also stands at N3 billion. According the governor’s aide, “the arms deal was struck a day after the unfortunate incidence of Yar’galadima village, when over two hundred innocent people were massacred by the armed bandits operating in the state.”As the crossfire continued, Governor Matawalle declared that since Yari failed as a governor to secure the lives and property of Zamfara people, he was now bent no ensuring that his administration also fails.
But what appeared to be the gravest of the incumbent’s complaints against his predecessor was the accusation of self-enrichment and aggrandizement, where he stated: “There had been no public power supply at the state secretariat for eight years. Everywhere was leaking, but my predecessor was always on AIT and ChannelsTV, saying he was performing. It is the height of wickedness. He had sold state assets to himself, family and cronies during his 8-year stint as Imo governor.
