Following the
allegation that ex-governors are receiving double salary from their
states, the former governor of Anambra State and Minister of Labour and
Productivity, Dr. Chris Ngige has denied collecting any salary from his
state as former governor.
Speaking on the issue, Ngige said: “It is my considered opinion that I
respond in the public interest to the issue of double emoluments to
former state governors, which has drawn sustained media discourse, and
no less negative reactions from a cross section of Nigerians.
“I am doing this being fully aware of the relevant sections of the law,
public morality and the prevailing ethos of honest and transparent
leadership, which the Federal Government of our great party led by
Muhammadu Buhari is battling to enthrone. It therefore becomes
imperative for me to explain my own circumstance as I neither draw from
nor have at any time drawn double emoluments, having been elected or
appointed into public service positions at different times.
