Senate Denies N21M Monthly Pay Rumours, Whistleblower Exposes Truth

In a recent development, the Senate has firmly rejected claims suggesting that its lawmakers receive N21 million monthly in salaries and allowances. Senate spokesperson Yemi Adaramodu responded to Senator Sumaila Kawu’s assertion, clarifying that the reported figures include running costs, which are distinct from personal salaries and allowances set by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation, and Fiscal Commission. Adaramodu highlighted that these operational costs are standard across various government offices and are not exclusive to the legislature. He defended the Senate's integrity, noting that senators are motivated by public service rather than financial rewards, with the National Assembly’s budget representing only 1% of the federal budget. Join us as we discuss these claims with Mahdi Shehu, a prominent non-commercial whistle-blower and rights activist.
