He had also revealed that in sharp contrast to some people’s perception, Nigerian lawmakers and ministers don’t actually have jumbo salaries.
He said, “Contrary to what many people perceive or believe that Legislators or Senators have jumbo salaries, no. There is no Senator or Minister that earns over a million Naira as salary from the federal government”.
He also expressed dissatisfaction over the pay of Nigeria’s non-career ambassador.
He revealed that a non-career ambassador receives the same salary as a deputy director at the federal ministry of Foreign affairs.
In another report, the lawmaker representing Bauchi North Senatorial District, Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa, has revealed that majority of members of the Senate are in support of the move to impeach President Muhammadu Buhari, over the failure of his regime to address the growing insecurity in Nigeria.
Bulkachuwa who is a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, the party with the majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives, said almost all members of the Senate backed the move when the lawmakers were in an executive (closed-door) session at the plenary last Wednesday.
The senators threatened to impeach the President over the worsening insecurity in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and the country at large.
The angry lawmakers gave the President a six-week ultimatum to address the security crisis or face impeachment proceedings.
