Senate
President, Bukola Saraki has reacted to claims by the Socio-Economic Rights and
Accountability Project (SERAP) that he plans to increase salaries of Nigerian
senators.
Owojela's
Blog had reported that SERAP in a statement on its Twitter Page raised the
alarm.
over alleged
plans by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki to increase salaries of Nigerian
senators to N15m.
But in
reaction, Saraki in a statement by his
Special
Assistant on New Media, Olu Onemola, described the allegation as untrue.
He urged
SERAP to get its fact right.
The
statement reads, “Dear @SERAPNigeria, there is no such “alleged decision” to
increase the allowances of Senators. An organization like yours needs to be
more careful, especially when pushing out information meant for public
consumption. Thank you.
“To avoid
any doubt: there is no plan to amend the allowances of Senators. The tweet by
@SERAPNigeria is baseless and untrue. The public should disregard this
ENTIRELY.”
