Senators Rise In Defence Of N14.2m Monthly Package by ManirBK: 10:32pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
Senators yesterday justified their N14.2 million monthly package, saying the money is used to cater for their numerous expenses. Senator Oluremi Tinubu (APC, Lagos Central) yesterday defended the N14.2 million pay package received monthly by Nigerian senators during the 25th town hall she organised in Lagos tagged, “Gender Equity and the Right To Economic Freedom.” LEADERSHIP Weekend recalls that Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna Central) had revealed in a recent interview that he and his colleagues pocketed N13.5 million monthly as running cost in addition to their N750,000 official monthly salary, bringing the total package to N14.2 million. Speaking on the issue, Senator Tinubu said the money takes care of the lawmakers’ numerous running costs. “Out of this money, we pay house rent, constituency office bills, transportation. And apart from these, everything is monetised. The House only provides one car for each senator,” “Does a minister or commissioner have one car? “People make a lot of noise when there is nothing. I have been consistent with the town hall meetings and all the money I have been spending, including empowering people, is from this money,” she explained. When asked about the huge pay package for federal lawmakers, Tinubu’s counterpart in the House of Representatives, Hon. Olajide Jimoh (APC, Lagos Mainland federal constituency) denied collecting such. He said, “I am not collecting jumbo pay. My salary is legal and also embedded in the budget.” A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator from the north central zone who does not want to be quoted said: “There is no official or formal reaction yet to Senator Shehu Sani’s disclosure that senators take home N13.5million, beside the N750,000 official salary monthly and that they are entitled to N200 million constituency project allowance yearly. “If there should be any reaction, a senator should have moved a motion on it, subjected it to debate before a resolution is made. |

Let us do a simple investigation on how Ekweremadu made his fortune through government in a transparent manner, firstly we have just heard from Senator Sani that each senator recieve N13.5m. monthly that are not their Salary which I believe that federal government are aware about it. N13.5m . ×12 month =N162m for a year . N162m ×18yrs =N2.9b not minding his monthly salary and allowances, monthly salary of senators are N750,000 ×12=N9m × 18yrs = N162m let us assume that his allowances which I did not included and his salary which is N162m are the expense and taxes he paid. HE ALSO GETS THIS Severance Gratuity............ N7.43m Furniture allowance ..........N7.45m Motor Vehicle Allowance...N9.94m We also didn't include during the period he served as Chief of staff and Secretary to state Governors. Now let said he has made N3.5b when include the period he is chief of staff and Secretary to enugu state government. Now my question is can N3.5b buy all those properties mentioned by Saharareporter? From my estimate N3.5b can acquired those properties mentioned by Saharareporter though not saying he is a Saint. |

dignity33:The also collect money from Chairing a committee, each senator is the chairman of one committee but the bigger the ministry or parastatal, the more money they receive. They collect money for Oversight function and are also entitled to Brand new vehicles of about 12-15m every four years. What of Budget padding that has been going on since forever. Ekeremadu is a deputy Senate president running into 7 years now so his own package is more juicy than the rest of the senators except the Senate President. |
