Going by a template obtained from the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, the Oyo State outgoing Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, will get a total of N6.67m as severance allowance.
According to an information obtained, the deputy Governor, Otunba Moses Alake-Adeyemo will receive a total of N6.34m as severance allowance.
Ajimobi and Alake-Adeyemo will collect their pay after necessary papers have been perfected after their tenure which ends May 29, 2019. They assumed office on May 29, 2011, after defeating incumbent Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala.
The severance allowance is, however, separate from other packages which many states have put in place as retirement benefits or pension packages for their governors and deputy governors.
Some of such packages include unlimited health care benefits as well as houses in any place of their choice in the state. Some also offer another house in the Federal Capital Territory.
Some former governors have been known to implement some of the packages for themselves towards the end of their tenures.
Also, the speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Olagunju Ojo, and his deputy, Barr Abdulwasii Musah, and the 28 others who were not re-elected will go home with a total N130.14m.
Each of them will go home N4.34m a reliable source has learnt. Each state lawmaker is entitled to 300 per cent of their annual basic salary as severance allowance when their tenure ends in June 2019.
This is also in line with a template obtained from the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission.
Only two out of the 32 lawmakers- Honourables Wunmi Oladeji ( Ogbomoso North) and Adebo Ogundoyin (Ibarapa East) were re-elected.
Ojo and Musah lost their bids to represent Oriire/Ogbomoso North/Ogbomoso South and ATISBO/Saki East/Saki West federal constituencies respectively on the platforms All Progressives Congress, APC, and African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the February 23rd, 2019 election.
