God bless you sir. Good man. I hope Kaduna State people see the good in you and elect you as their Governor. Or even better, I hope you emerge as the President of Nigeria in 2019.

In saner climes this selfless revelation by Sani is enough to start a revolution.

But no,Nigerians are docile and suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

A country that has the highest percentage of poor people on earth has the most expensive cost of government.

Why I revealed how much we earn as senators – Shehu Sani
March 12, 2018

Kemi Busari

Shehu Sani, the Nigerian senator who revealed that he and his colleagues receive N13.5 million as running cost monthly, has explained why he exposed his colleagues.

Mr. Sani in an interview with BBC said the payment is a ‘moral issue.’

“I decided to burst it open. It was a moral issue,” he said.

He said that the National Assembly is being run with little accountability about how the money is spent.

He wants the illegal payment to be scrapped so that the legislative arm of government will be attractive only to people who can contribute ideas.

“The National Assembly is one of the most non-transparent organs of government. It pricked my conscience and I decided to burst the bubble and open the National Assembly to public scrutiny.

“If the expenses payment system was ended then parliament would only be attractive to people who contribute ideas,” he told BBC.

Mr. Sani had in an interview with TheNews revealed that he and his colleagues receive N13.5 million monthly as “running cost”, aside a N750, 000 monthly consolidated salary and allowances which they also receive.

Mr. Sani’s revelation is the first by a lawmaker from the Senate since the clamour by Nigerians for a full disclosure of lawmakers’ earnings.

The revelation has sparked widespread anger among Nigerians who had always criticised the lawmakers for arbitrarily allocating jumbo pay to themselves.

Sen. Shehu the zoogerians you are fighting for do not worth it. They are too docile and cowardly to do anything about the Jumbo pay, they'll just go about their suffer-suffer lives and abandon you to pay a heavy price for trying to be a revolutionary. You'll then gnash your teeth and regret ever taking with them zoogerians when you could have remained silent and chop your own Jumbo pay peacefully. Just watch.. grin

We need more men like shehu sani in govt to make things right. Govt is runned buy public funds they shud be accountability. Even Twitter senator kept mute on this

Most humans are cowardly, it doesn't matter where you go.

But Nigerians are especially so which is why they are so quick to brutalize their own children and why they are not deserving of respect.

It's revelations like this that makes me realise and accept the fact that Nigeria will never move forward if there isn't a revolution. Bloody or bloodless, it has to take place. And this is just the rubbish being pepetrated in the Legislative arm, imagine the scam going on in the executive and judicial arms. Governance in Nigeria is a total scam.

And it took him all this years to realize it's daylight robbery of the citizens common wealth? If it was really a moral issue, he would hv spoken out earlier!!! If it was a moral issue, he would have outrightly refused accepting the money from the onset or better still propose to return the millions to the national treasury!!! Only then will I take him serious.

All these wanna-be-masses-hero polithiefians churning out late revelations all in an attempt to garner cheap political popularity. Shiorr!!! . SMH!!!

Only thing he gets from me is : Thanks for the revelation but no commendation whatsoever. Also forget winning my vote sir!!!

Whoever think ordinary shouts and normal elections will fix this country is day dreaming. 'Blood sucking ticks' on the skin do not respond to body shaking, they suck the more and reproduce while the host suffers.
This country needs a one time desperate approach, the skin might hurt in the process of removing the ticks but the relieve thereafter is worth the pain.
