I still have to blame GEJ and his last administration for this particular nonsense we have at our hand.

The 2015 budget was prepared and passed during a time of crisis already in Nigeria. It was a time when many states and even the FG was already finding it very difficult to meet their financial commitments. As such, common economic sense should have prevailed by reducing all recurrent expenses as much as possible (at least by 40%).

What we got instead was to reduce capital expenditure further so that it became about 10% of our national budget while "nothing" happened to the recurrent expenses! To GEJ and his cohorts, they didn't care as far as they got bank alert for fat cash credit in their account. Such is the economic wizardry of NOI and GEJ that we couldn't even increase our savings in the four years that crude sold for above $100 per barrel on the average.

But as they say, "GEJ is a good man BUT a very bad administrator". Thankfully, change is here.
Abeg free this man. Is he your problem? Am sure he is no more in powerwhen the current Assembly clinch power.
So what's the fuss about him and the evil the 8th NASS are perpetrating.

The RMAFC does not need your permission to reduce your salaries. Buhari should go ahead and cut the obscene renumeration.

The nation needs money as GEJ'S administration has beggared the nation.

Politicians must be put on the national pay scales like the buereacrats, technocrats and teachers.
Nothing else will do. These legislooters cannot continue to rob the nation to bankruptcy. If they don't like it, there are lots of unemployed competent graduates that will be more than happy to do their jobs. Absolutely nothing special about these thieves. We need to get long pitch-forks and Chase them rogues out of town.

Saraki, who stated this on his Twitter handle yesterday after meeting with the RMAFC boss, said the annual wardrobe allowance for each senator is N506,600 per annum, about N2.25 million ‎for their four-year tenure
2.25 X Nunbers of Senators and Reps!
That is why i never wanted this guy as senate president, born with silver spoon, how can he understand the pains of the people.
When we are ready we will be on the street,but as long as we sit in the comfort of our rooms, Saraki will keep playing politics.

Seriously, they're way smarter and superior to the 150 million docile folks they govern. That's exactly why 469 of them account for a little of 25% of our recurrent expenditure.

Till we demand and make a strong demonstration against these idiots, we remain the greater idiots.

Even if he did, he is not in power anylonger, your anger should be directed at the current administration. GEJ is no more relevant to the 8th NASS, so why the laying-on of blames??

The budget in question (the wardrobe allowance) was prepared by GEJ and approved by the last 7th Assembly.

Senate President Bukola Saraki has denied that federal lawmakers get N9billion wardrobe allowance.

He also said there were plans by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to reduce salaries and allowances of federal lawmakers.

Saraki, who stated this on his Twitter handle yesterday after meeting with the RMAFC boss, said the annual wardrobe allowance for each senator is N506,600 per annum, about N2.25 million ‎for their four-year tenure.

He also absolved lawmakers of indiscriminately allocating monies to themselves, and said that RMAFC had the sole responsibility of fixing their remuneration, adding that the Commission would soon publish details of their allowances on its website.

“RMAFC was in my office to clarify (that) wardrobe allowance is N506,600 per senator.‎ I have just been informed that RMFAC will be publishing details of allowances on their website.

“With the current challenge we are facing as a nation, RMAFC will be reviewing allowances to reflect the current economic trend. Fixing remuneration is sole responsibility of RMAFC,” the Senate president said.

LEADERSHIP recalls that there were media reports that a member of House Representatives collects N17.5 million as wardrobe allowance annually, while a senator receives about N21.5 million.

Nigerians are some of the most blissfully ignorant folks in the known universe. Allowances and perks are what should be halved.. Who cares about your salary.

You obviously do NOT know hour our government works but that is an issue for another day/thread.


Why has Buhari the 'strong, incorruptible man of integrity' that was voted in NOT stopped the allowance and bogus salary from being paid huh

STOP being clever by half- Jonathan was NOT re-elected because Buhari said he can do better, not so? So let him do better NOW!!!

Does Buhari have the power to stop any money provided for in 2015 budget that was already passed by the last assembly?

He doesn't have that constitutional power, boy.

Please seek knowledge and education of how things work?
