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.

Shehu Sani should be given a higher role in the next government. He should be promoted while we send Buhari back to Daura.

They are the most corrupt arm of government.

Shehu Sani's antics and desperation to become governor of Kaduna is yielding positive results. I pity the people of Kaduna who may end up voting this G as next governor. As far I am concern, there is no difference between Sani and the long forgotten common sense Bruce
