Four hundred and sixty-nine lawmakers who were elected on the platform of various political parties in the February 23 National Assembly elections and the subsequent supplementary election will get N4.68bn as welcome package immediately after their inauguration in June.

This is the summation of furniture allowance of N5,955,637.5 and accommodation allowance of N3, 970,425 which a House of Representatives member is entitled to. For motor vehicles, each of the senators is entitled to N8, 105,600 while each member of the House of Representatives is entitled to N7, 940,850.50.

Others are personal assistant – 25 per cent; domestic staff – 75 per cent; entertainment – 30 per cent; utilities – 30 per cent; newspapers/periodicals – 15 per cent; wardrobe – 25 per cent; house maintenance – five per cent; and constituency – 250 per cent. But a former governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has called on Nigerians to wage war against members of the 9th National Assembly and demand that they cut their salaries and allowances.

Musa said, “Now, the situation is even worse. Therefore, I will not ask Nigerians to beg or appeal to the lawmakers. They should organise themselves and confront the lawmakers.

I wish this money is channel into infrastructure development especially educationsecondaryprimary

See why I hate this country?no conscience.

Ridiculous spending

And they want to negotiate minimum wage which has already seen signed in2 law... according to ijaw pple: 'conscience kpo' fa'

Oh Nigeria!!!

These will not be delayed to pay but can take them years to implement new minimum wage. Tell me how people won't see politics as do or die? When these allowance alone is more than gratuity of some 60 years civil servants.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to scrap the senate. 🤔

Those that voted them in will receive what?

It is easier to get rich in politics than gambling.

What a country.

Am leaving this country for good
