The Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Bukola Saraki has reacted to the alleged nine billion naira (#9, 000000000) allocated as wardrobe allowance for the new Federal lawmakers, noting that it is N506, 600 per senator as against N21million claimed by many.
Reacting to this issue via his twitter handle, Senator Bukola wrote, “Chairman of Revenue Mobilisation Allocation & fiscal Commission was in my office to clarify wardrobe allowance. Amount is N506, 600 per Sen.”
However, his response does not go down well with many of his twitter followers as they hit him hard with comments.
Below are some of their responses to him
@bukolasaraki I’m an employee somewhere, maybe more qualified than 70% of Senators but i don’t get absurd allowance at my job.

@bukolasaraki sir what we are saying is 9b is too much to be spent on allowances. Especially in our current state. There is no justifying it
