Senators earn luxury wages while workers are paid peanuts – Senator Ndume - Edoman - 06-22-2020 Senators earn luxury wages while workers are paid peanuts – Senator Ndume Senator Ali Ndume has expressed disappointment with the wages Nigerian workers are paid across the country. Speaking at a webinar organised by the Emmanuel Chapel themed, ‘Economic stability beyond COVID-19’, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Army said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria Muhammadu Sanusi, vindicated his position on the high cost of running a presidential democracy which he said is no longer realistic. Ndume said; Quote:“We have a budget of N10tn and only 30 per cent is going to the majority, whereas 70 per cent will be spent on a few minority. The system we are practising now is not fair either morally or socially. The former Senate Leader also disclosed that lawmakers in the national assembly might kick against a change from presidential democracy to parliamentary system of government, because the current system of government works in their favour. The senator who represents Borno South Senatorial District said; Quote:“Parliamentary system is effective in the sense that the head of government is more or less one among equals of the parliamentarians. Ndume also appealed to legal luminaries to come together and reach an agreement which will initiate the constitution amendment through referendum. b |
