In the midst of economic challenges plaguing the nation, the Nigerian Senate has reaffirmed its stance against reducing its expenditures, as reported by Channels Television.
Senator Yemi Adaramodu, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, addressed reporters in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Monday, asserting that the National Assembly bears no responsibility for the economic hardships experienced in Nigeria.
He identified what he described as many cogent roles, including committee works and oversight roles, played by lawmakers without any allowances attached, insisting that calls for them to cut down on expenses cannot be valid.
Adaramodu made the remarks moments after the tribunal ruled in his favour, upholding the All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart’s electoral victory against Senator Biodun Olujimi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
