A Nigerian Twitter analyst has condemned the immediate past governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari over his letter demanding payment of his N10 million monthly upkeep allowance and pension from his successor Bello Mattawale.

Yari’s letter went viral on social media on Monday and made him a subject of internet trolling on several social media platforms.

In the letter, the former governor had said he is entitled to N10 million monthly as an upkeep allowance, but he has only been paid twice (June and July) since he left office on May 29.

Quoting a law amended by the State House of Assembly in March, the former governor said the law provides for the entitlement of former governors, deputies, speakers and deputy speakers.

A day after his letter made it to social media, the State House of Assembly abolished the law Yari banked on to demand payment of arrears of his allowances.

Reacting to the development, a Twitter user Aldulazees Badaru said Yari deserves no mercy and must be probed and jailed for ‘mismanaging Zamfara’.

He gave a breakdown of how the former governor’s N10 million monthly allowance would make life better for the people of the state.

Badaru wrote:

“Gov. Yari instigated the Zamfara assembly to enact a law awarding him N20 million (N10m upkeep plus N10m pension) monthly pension. Gov. Mutawalle, now in office, used the same assembly to nullify the pension.

“N20 million a month is N240 million yearly, and N7.2 billion over 30 years if Yari lives that long.

“N7.2 billion could fund 4,800 boreholes with overhead water tanks (at N1.5 million each) or 1,440 school blicks classrooms (at N5 million each). But one man diverted it for his sole use after ruining his state for eight years.
