A former spokesman for the House of Representatives, Eseme Eyiboh, has claimed that the N2 million holiday token recently given to Nigerian senators will not be sufficient to help them sustain engagement with their constituencies due to the economic hardship in the country. Mr Eyiboh said this when he appeared on a live programme on Arise News TV which was monitored by SaharaReporters on Sunday night. He claimed that there is nothing wrong in paying the lawmakers while going on holiday because the same thing is in practice in the civil service.

N2Million Given To Each Nigerian Senator As Holiday Token Is Nothing —Former House Of Reps Spokesman, EyibohHe claimed that there is nothing wrong in paying the lawmakers while going on holiday because the same thing is in practice in the civil service.

SaharaReporters had reported that the senators were angry with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio after exposing that they received bribe money for ministerial screening in a video that went viral on Wednesday, SaharaReporters has learnt. But when his statement sparked a rowdy moment on the floor of the Senate, he rephrased the statement and said, “I withdraw that statement. In order to allow you to enjoy your holiday, the senate president has sent prayers to your mailboxes to assist you to go on a safe journey and return.”

“He never disclosed to the senators the source of the N2 million each sent to their accounts. Rather, what Akpabio did was to blackmail the Senators on Monday night in an open live television cast that money had been sent to the accounts of Senators for holidays. Then the following morning, senators received only N2 million each in their accounts while the senate president pocketed hundreds of millions of naira.
