Hours
when it had been divulged that the members of the eighth National Assembly
(NASS) had allotted a whooping N9billion as wardrobe allowance for its 469
lawmakers, Nigerians Tuesday kicked against it.
While
every of the 360 lawmakers at the House of Representatives would get N17.5
million, the remaining 109 senators would get N21.5 million every as wardrobe
allowances.
Already,
angry Nigerians particularly those on Facebook and Twitter have created a
N9billion hashtag (#9billion), that has since gone infectious.
Another
hashtag that has gone infectious is that the #OccupyNASS, that they aforesaid
would entail Nigerians exacting responsibleness from their representatives at
the National Assembly.
"An
assortment of happy-go-lucky louts seeking to profit once those that supposedly
electoral them are dying of hunger and pauperization.
"The
worst a part of the legislative heist is that a number of these guys are within
the NASS for years assembling millions with no single bill!"
I
guess it’s really time to #occuyNASS.Change we want,change we must see.
