Senator Ali Ndume has made a shocking confession.
He said: “As a principal officer in the 10th National Assembly, I receive more than the N200m allocation, which is the amount given to some of my colleagues and floor members for constituency projects in the 2024 Appropriation Act.”
“My colleagues know that I got more than them.”
“All the senators have N200m each as their constituency projects but I am a leader. That is the difference. 10 of us are leaders including those in the opposition.”
“We get more than the floor members. It’s normal… My colleagues know that I got more than them.”
This is coming after, his colleague, Senator Jarigbe Agom-Jarigbe revealed recently that some senators got a total of N500 million each from the 2024 Budget for constituency projects.
For those who don’t know, Senator Ndume is the Senate Chief Whip, he represents Borno South Senatorial District.
