House of Representatives former speaker, Yakubu Dogara has made a shocking revelation.

He said: “While I was Speaker my salary was N400,000 and my total allowance was N25 million, I told my accountant to open a separate account for the allowances and I never for once took any money out of that account everything that came into that account was used to cater for the needs of constituents.”

“My accountant complained of the level of demand on the account and I told him if the money there is finished, borrow, and when money comes it you return to were you had taken money from.”

“I am saying this so Nigerians will give their legislatures breathing space and know that the narrative is not true about members’ pay.”
