Atiku Slams Tinubu Over Retired Police Officers’ Pension Crisis

Atiku Abubakar accused President Bola Tinubu of abandoning retired police officers to a failing pension system as they stage daily protests outside the National Pension Commission (PenCom) to demand their benefits. He faulted Tinubu for not acting on the Police Exit Bill, which he said had been on the president’s desk since March. Atiku’s proposed Police Dignity Guarantee Plan would restore police gratuities and implement the Police Pension Board Bill, which he pledged to enact within 30 days of taking office. He also said he had directed his team to meet the affected officers and hear their grievances.
