A Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has revealed that he earns a total of N14 million every month as a Senator.
The Senator stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, dismissing the belief among some Nigerians that lawmakers are living in affluence while the masses live in poverty.
“I earn N14 million for everything in a month. That is everything encompassing, the overhead, the worker’s salary, everybody,” Uzor-Kalu said.
According to Uzor Kalu, who is a former governor of Abia State, the N14 million is not enough to buy petrol to travel to his constituency, maintain the constituency office among other things.
