A former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has revealed that many senators are disappointed with their salaries after they got far below what they expected before getting into the Senate.

Kalu, who is the Chief Whip of the Senate, stated this on Saturday in Abuja when he addressed journalists, promising to give details of what senators earn soon.

He said: “Let me address the issue of jumbo pay. I have received my salary for June and it is far below what you people are writing.

“If a minister is travelling to Lagos, would he use his legs? What you call fat salary are monies used to run the constituency because they don’t give us additional funds.

“It is the money we use when we travel to Abia, Lagos, Badagry or Kaduna. Next meeting, I will unveil to you.

“You will now see that you are maligning and criticising the National Assembly for nothing.

“Most of my colleagues said they did not know it was going to be like this and I said we came to serve our country as senators.

“When they were outside, they were also saying that all the money was carried by the National Assembly which is not true.

“The money they have given them is not going to be enough. I have seen them crying already.

“They came to me to complain because I have seen the good and the ugly.

“I think that the media is not fair to the National Assembly. I call on you people to change your minds because there is no jumbo pay; honestly, I have not seen one.

“If I see jumbo pay that does not represent my conscience, I will speak.

“When I was governor, the state was buying my food; the state paid everything, but as a senator, nobody does that.”

Politicians in Nigeria are just greedy! You serve the people in 4 years and earn more than a civil servant who has worked for 35 years...

When did this one become senator that he is already lecturing us about the Senate. Just one month, and You already know every every abi?
This clown of a man won't cease to amuse me;
Honestly!

Yet they are still reluctant to list out in details what gets to them monthly.

A situation where a billionaire Senator like Kalu is being paid 29 million per month as salary, it's not unexpected that it will not be enough as his take home per month.

This is a new okoroawusa in the making perhaps he should be called uzor_awusa

Lol. Badt guy who u wan dey whine ..we are talking of the additional bonuses and allowances ure talking of salary

check my signature

Scam! Believe this fake news at your own peril.

You still want food ?

Oga publish your salary account statements and expenditures online for June lets see. Instead of tackling your constituency projects you are demanding here talking talking talking.

Tell us something

Oponu, na we be mumu abi, most of them will still want to go for second term despite complaining

Why don’t they go on minimum wage like millions of Nigeria. Greedy senators

Many civil servants are heart broken with their salaries, which they don't even get for months.

They need to make legislation a part time thing, then many of them will lose interest

Am also disappointed in my salary . Bros Mk we exchange

It's not their fault, Real Nigerians are yet to wake up. There is nothing this clowns know, that to loot. And re loot again.

How much is the salary Mr. Senator?

But this guy is proving to us that he doesn't have sense... Anything to lick his masters ass...chai ndi Igbo ibem... We don't have reliable leaders oo.

Orji Uzor kalu dissapointing since 2004...

Very Funny.

Honestly, I'm not surprised at all we don't expect anything less.

But how much was your pay in the June alert you received.

God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

If most Nigerians earn 10% of what they earn, Nigerians no go Dey pass sahara

coz u r a rich man na....d money small for your eye

u r d many senators u r talking about....

This igbo man refuses to disclose the figure on his june pay cheque. Does he think everyone can be fooled like ipobians are being hoodwinked by a fellow "countryman" of his?

You are not confortable with the heart of the kitchen,then get the Bleep out.Yeye people

What an he-diot...
Tax payers are struggling to feed themselves and their families, while the state was feeding you and your friends and visitors.

The culture of entitlement of most Nigerian politicians is despicable! SMH
