Kano Senator faults RMAFC, says “I get N21m monthly”

“You give yourselves all sorts of things, and you know it is not right. It is immoral, (yet) you are doing it, the Senate is doing it, and you are beating your chests about it. In some cases, the executive gives you what you’re not entitled to. You all got N200 million (each).”

Also, a former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, had once publicly disclosed that each Senator collects a monthly running cost of N13.5m in addition to the monthly N750,000 prescribed by the commission.

It would be recalled that the Senate in a Statement on Sunday refuted the claims by Obasanjo stating that they were lies. [The Punch except headline and first two introductory paragraphs]
