The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has filed a lawsuit asking the Federal Capital Territory High Court to: “declare the life pension edict/law 2019, passed by the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) null, void, illegal and unconstitutional; and to restrain and stop AMAC, its chairman; deputy chairman; speaker; legislature and/or their agents from paying life pensions to former officials, and ultimately, to themselves under the edict/law.”

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has sent an open letter to Abdullahi Adamu Candido, the Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council, urging him to use his good offices and leadership position to “urgently withdraw and revoke the bill/edict for the unconstitutional and illegal payment of life pensions to former chairmen, vice-chairmen, speakers and other officials of AMAC.”
