Would the APC and other parties' senators and honourables agree to a cut in their salaries and other allowances even if GMB attemps to slash their pays?

Read what someone sent to me which many may be aware of-

NIGERIA'S OVERPAID LEGISLATORS

TO GO TO ABUJA.
If you don't understand why those who are in
Abuja don't want to return and those who want
to go are doing so at all cost, look at this
information.

plummeting will simply dissipate. The details of
the remuneration of an average Nigerian Senator

= N353,756,988.00 ($2,183,685.00)
* EXCHANGE RATE: $1 = N162

* France - $85,900.00
* South Africa - $104,000.00
* Kenya - $74,500.00

In terms of lawmakers’ salaries as a ratio of GDP
per capita, the gap is even much wider. While the
salary of a Nigerian lawmaker is 116 times the
country’s GDP per person, that of a British
member of parliament is just 2.7 times.
The average salary of Nigerian worker based on
the national minimum wage is N18,000.00, So,
the yearly salary is N18,000.00 x 12 =
N216,000.00 ($1,333.00)
Remember, Yearly Salary of Nigerian Senator =
$2,183,685.00.
Proportion: $2,183,685.00/$1,333.00 = 1,638
It will take an average Nigerian worker 1,638
years to earn the yearly salary of a Nigerian
Senator.

I doubt if they will agree to slash their pays to $ 182 000 per annum as obtained in Italy which is the highest on this list. Now that they are the majority in the national assembly, lets see how much love they have for NIGERIA.

This is a VERY sickening breakdown.

Of course the cleansing has to start from there. If you're not willing to serve you country on the basic salary then GTFO.
Any well meaning person would be PROUD just to be a legislator. I know I would.

The national wealth is not to be shared by a select few. Awon agbaya dede

Obviously, Buhari will cut down government expenses. The salaries of the legislators won't be spared either.

Thing I am half sure gmb will achieve in his first few months are;

1. Fuel prices will come down
2. Some of those jets will be laid off
2. Budget will be reviewed and some costs will be cut.

Uhmmm......

I'm pretty sure he'll cur down government expenses including salaries of ministers and advicers but not sure he has the sole power to cut down those of the elected lawmakers.

indeed we are the economy that something is wrong with.... If lawmakers can be paid such amount of which our coloniser didnt pay their own lawmakers, then i think we need prayers

it is about sponsoring a bill and influencing the APC members to consent.

I hope it will be that easy. Many of them have been having their share of the national cake, collecting about 30m monthly in their previous tenures in the national assembly up till now. How do you think they will welcome the idea of even 5m per month?

He talks about something like that in 2011 debate, all the candidates, cpc, acn, anpp frown against this 419.

I really hope he does. That's where true change begins

GMB should scrap and reduce all this outrageous allowances and salary to 100K per month !!!

That's bicameralism for you.
