The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, Prof. Itse Sagay, said the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan was being economical with the truth when he said his monthly salary as a senator was N750,000.

According to the controversial Constitutional lawyer, a senator takes home N15 million monthly.

He therefore asked the Senate President to stop misleading the public with his half truth.

Recall that Lawan had on Tuesday in Abuja said that there was no ‘jumbo’ salary for senators as was being claimed and that they earned N750, 000 monthly.

Speaking to the Punch on Wednesday, Sagay noted that Nigerians were more interested in how much senators take home monthly in both salaries and allowances.

He pointed out that it was public knowledge that the bulk of the money earned by senators come from their allowances.

He was quoted as saying: “He (Lawan) knows that nobody will take him seriously. I respect and like him, but what he has done is to give half-truth. He is telling us the actual salary without mentioning anything about the allowances.

“That’s where the jumbo pay comes in when you talk of building, furniture, domestic this or that, 15 items and those items alone bring everything up to N13.5m a month. So, simply mentioning the base salary, which brings it over N14m, is not sufficient.

“So, technically, he’s right, that’s their salary. But what is his income, take-home pay, at the end of the month? It’s about N15m and we are not including so many other things we need not talk about now.”

Lawan wants to be fooling us.

Trust nobody.

Imagine.

I dedicate this FTC to all corrupt politicians. You can't buy long life from God.

“So, technically, he’s right, that’s their salary. But what is his income, take-home pay, at the end of the month? It’s about N15m and we are not including so many other things we need not talk about now.”

deep!

He won’t talk about those things now, cos Lawan is their man.
Trust him, if the senate president is Saraki, Sagay won’t hide anything

Itsey Sagay seems to be better at being the presidential spokesperson on National Assembly matters than the role he currently occupies.

15 m per month in a country where the masses live on less than a dollar per day.

15m in a country that has been projected to lead the poverty index till 2050.

15m in a country where its teaching hospitals lack 5k reagents or lab materials.

15m in a nation that produces next to nothing and relies on importation for almost all her needs.

15m in a nation that boasts of 2 digits inflation, rising unemployment, lack of power, good health care and education.

The worst is that there are no measures to address these anomalies.

The signs and prognosis in the offing are that of doom. No hope whatsoever.

Nigeria will never be better again from all indications.

The future generation will bear the brunt of today's mistakes.


I am sad. It's tragic. I am worried.
Where do we go from here?

Is it the exchange rate?
Few years ago, naira was stronger than some of these foreign currencies.


They will soon remove subsidy, price of fuel will get to 300+.
They will promise to invest the subsidy funds but siphon it. The poor masses suffer.

Coming from this large ugly mouth oluwole professor

Cost of governance in Nigeria is extremely high... If we can take serious austerity measures for just political office holders alone .. I'm sure we can build two refineries in one year

Of course na.....every nigerian knows this no matter how they try to play with our heads

This is good business

In a country with high poverty rate.

Tt

We know all these already, tell us what the executive with all their P.As earn

And that is excluding all the allowances o

I talk am! Yesterday Lawan was saying it's 750k I just dey laugh.

Even Olosho wey badge Don reach Senate Level dey charge hundreds of thousands

we know already.

Some families work for 18 years before earning this amount if they won't spend that salary for 18years.

And one junky is up there doing nothing to earn 15m. Boko Hram, Kidnappers and ritualist should now shift focus and leave the poor alone.

mtcheeeeeeeeew no wonder money that is suppose to reach us ain't reaching

I must be a senator
2031

It’s about N15m and we are not including so many other things we need not talk about now.”

Can we talk about those things?

Na Wa 4 Dis Country Who Dey Want Make We Believe

politthiefians

Yes the number 3 citizen wants to confuse & deceive the rest of us. He wants us to believe his N750,000 lie when the take home per month is over N15,000,000.00. Can you imagine how economical our leaders can be with the truth & how far they are from the whole truth.

The maths is 750,000/15,000,000 That's how far they are from truth. They tell us only 5% of the truth. And being over 15M the truth is still less than 5%

This Senate President has taken the wrong step forward. He is now Mr. <5%-Truth. This is first impression gone wrong. Oh!!! what a leader. I weep.

My concern is that Twitter Senator that was ranting upandan till he became Senator
He lost his voice and after his tenure, he found his voice again. He knew all this but kept quiet.

Lying lawan....


Running cost of a senator is 15 m monthly...

This is the reason why Nigeria is bankrupt..

No more for capital projects
