Kwara denies building house for Saraki
The Kwara State government has denied building a house for former governor of the state, Dr. Bukola Saraki, as part of his pension benefits.
The government described as outright falsehood and twisting of facts the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the state is paying Saraki utility and domestic allowances and medical expenses.
Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Isiaka Gold, issued the statement in response to the PDP's earlier statement asking the state Assembly to commence the process of reversing the pension bill passed in the twilight of Saraki's administration.
The PDP statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Chief Rex Olawoye, came in the wake of the pension bill instituted by Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State.
The PDP alleged that the former governor's pension benefit is a drain on the state's resources.
But the state government accused the PDP of spinning yarns of falsehood. The SSG said: "We make bold to say that Kwara State pays salaries of its workers on the 25th of every month or earlier if that date falls within a weekend. Kwara State government does not pay and has not paid to Senator Saraki any utility or domestic allowance. To date, neither Senator Saraki nor any of his family members has claimed or is being paid medical allowances."
