Civil War veterans are urgently calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other key officials to address their longstanding pension issues.

A group of 63 retired soldiers, who served between 1967 and 1978, has voiced their frustration over unpaid pension arrears, despite a substantial allocation of N134.7 billion approved by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2020 for military veteran pensions.

Alhaji Bello Oseni, the secretary representing the retired soldiers, revealed that their documentation was confirmed by the Military Pensioner Board in 2023.

However, they are still awaiting their payments. The veterans, who are now between 76 and 85 years old, are facing severe financial difficulties. Some are even residing in their family homes, built in the early 20th century, due to their dire economic situation.

The veterans have reached out to former presidents, members of the Senate and House of Representatives, senior advocates of Nigeria, and human rights activists, seeking their intervention. They also urge civil society organizations to support their cause and advocate on their behalf.

President Bola Tinubu has revealed that he almost stepped away from the presidential race but was convinced to stay by Aminu Masari and a few others.

Speaking at a special Iftar at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu shared how a late-night conversation with a relative made him question his decision to run. His spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, released a statement detailing the moment.

Recalling the incident, Tinubu said a family member visited him around 3:30 a.m., asking for N50,000 to buy food. The relative blamed him for the currency crisis at the time, saying people were struggling to get cash, even a wealthy uncle of theirs couldn’t find N10,000. The man then questioned why Tinubu was still in the race, hinting that he had no chance of winning.

Despite the doubt, Tinubu handed over the money and confidently told him he would succeed. However, the encounter made him briefly consider quitting. He credited Aminu Masari and others for pushing him forward, with Masari reminding him of the support he had and urging him not to look back.

Tinubu acknowledged the tough economic challenges he faced upon taking office and the difficult decisions he had to make, including the removal of fuel subsidies. He revealed that the subsidy removal wasn’t part of his original inauguration speech but was a decision he had to make immediately.
