You have advocated that funds earmarked for the renovation of the National Assembly building should be channelled into healthcare and education, but your call has been shunned. If the National Assembly ever passes any social media bill and President Buhari signs it into law, we will surely see them in court. SERAP is arguing that top public officers cannot continue to receive big salaries and allowances and spend public money to finance their luxurious lifestyles, while asking poor Nigerians to make sacrifices. Members of the National Assembly are highly overpaid as revealed by the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, which has continuously revealed that members are paid way too much money. President Buhari has to prioritise cutting the allowances of members of the National Assembly in particular, and high-ranking public officials in general.
