The letter partly read, “Further to my letter to His Excellency dated September 28, 2023 on issues relating to security allowance to governors as per approval dated 20/09/2002, yours of 14/06/2019 and Executive Pension Act of 2007 (as amended) and other matters relating therein.
“I have interacted with Civil Society Organisations , integrity institutions, friends and associates on the above and decided to put them on hold and make a refund as appropriate.
“I therefore write to request for the suspension of my monthly pension/allowance of #694,557.82 only being paid to me as former Governor of Gombe State.”
Dankwambo added that upon the termination of his tenure as governor, he has never benefitted from perks accrued to former governors, adding, “Also note that since I left office in 2019, I have never benefitted from any welfare packages, be it medical, furniture, transportation, etc.”
