According to the former president, the federal lawmakers got N200 million each, and they collected it, adding that it was wrong for the lawmakers to design their salaries by themselves.
His words read:
“In your own case, with all due respect, you’re not supposed to fix your salaries. But you decide what you pay yourself, the allowances that you give yourself, new paper allowances. You give yourself all sorts of things, and you know it is not right. It is immoral.
