The first public request seeking suspension of pension and allowance by a former governor was made by former governor of Anambra state and presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Mr Peter Obi. With his letter to the state government, Ibrahim Dankwambo follows in the recent footsteps of former governor of Ogun State and current senator (Ogun East), Gbenga Daniel, who in a letter to state governor, Dapo Abiodun, dated June 14, 2023, requested suspension of his monthly pension.
