 Former governor of Ugu State Gminga Danyal has revealed the motive behind his decision to stop his monthly pension as a former governor of the state. The lawmaker representing Uguir's senatorial district in the National Assembly said he asked the state's government to stop his pensions because he doesn't want to be receiving double remuneration after returning to public service after 12 years. Danyal, however, said if after his stay at the Senate, senators have a monument, he may continue to continue with that to revert to the monument the Ugu State governor was paying him as a former governor. Recall that Danyal's decision to suspend his pension has generated reactions from the public. You get into public office, you have to tidy a lot of things up. Because there are so many things that goes into it, you must not apply foreign accounts, you must not. So I just said, okay, what are the things that I need to tidy up now that I'm here again? And this issue of double payments came, I said, okay, let's just remind the governor that from these dates, I have not been signed it, and I hope that from that date I will be receiving my emoluments as a senator of the federal republic. So kindly step down the one that you are doing for me. Probably after Senate, I will decide depending on what the law says, whether there will be severance, I mean pension for senators or pension for governor, and then probably say, okay, which one do I want to, or which one does it not permit you. So it's just so simple. But I was really shocked to see that it has generated so much interest. And a number of those people kept saluting and appreciating that gesture. I just thought it was the right thing to do, nothing more than that.
