Following the testimony of a detective of the EFCC,Michael Wetka who told the Code of Conduct Tribunal yesterday that Saraki was receiving salary after leaving office as governor for four years,the Kwara State government released a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government,Isiaka Gold denying the claim
Here is part of the statement
"From June 2011, former Governor Saraki started receiving his pension which was N578,188.00 as other past governors in the country. After the review of pensions of former political office holders by the State Pension Board, the former governor’s pension increased to N1,239,493.94 monthly from October 2014 to date. Kwara State Government, therefore, dismissed as false and misleading the allegation that former Governor Saraki was receiving salaries after the expiration of his two-term tenure as governor of the state.”
