Senate Shehu Sani said he has been vindicated regarding his claim on the monthly earnings of Nigerian senators.
The statement comes after Kano South Senator, Sumaila
disclosed that senators get N21 million monthly as running cost.
Sani said that Sumaila has now confirmed that the “monthly
alert is N21 million and not N1 million as claimed by the Revenue Mobilisation
Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC.”
In a post on his X handle on Wednesday, the social critic
said: “Yesterday, the RMFAC refuted my statement but I’m now vindicated by
Senator Kawu Sumaila who confirmed that the monthly alert is N21 million and not
N1 million. RMFAC make una mind yourself.
Sumaila in an interview with BBC Hausa Service on Wednesday
said a senator earns N21 million monthly.
“My monthly salary is less than N1 million. After
deductions, the figure comes down to a little over N600,000.
“Given the increase effected, in the Senate, each Senator
gets N21 million every month as running cost.”
Sumaila, however, said that he earns one million as a
monthly salary.
