You Can’t Change Pension Policy, Yari Tells Matawalle

 The immediate past Governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, has said that Governor Bello Matawalle cannot stop the state’s pension policy to deny him of right to benefits

Recently, the governor accused Yari of paying himself N360m from the state pension funds shortly before he left office in May 2019.

Yari who visited the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, (APC), Adams Oshiomhole in Abuja on Friday said his successor could not stop the policy.

He said, “About the pension policy, government cannot change this policy for now but I promised I won’t say anything for now.

“I don’t want to comment on what is happening in Zamfara State but a time will come when everything will be put on the table. For now, we will allow him (the governor) so that he will not say we are distracting him from governance.”

Yari described fighting insecurity as a national issue that requires the support of all Nigerians.

“As a one-time Chief Security Officer of the state, I know what the issue of security entails. I know the predicament of the security and that of state when it comes to the issue of security.

“So, I don’t know whether to continue to change security chiefs will be the solution or getting the right equipment for them or facilities to deal with situation.”
