Nigerian Senate refutes former President Obasanjo's claims on Senate salaries and constituency projects.

Nigerian Senate denies criticism from former President Olusegun Obasanjo regarding its salaries, claiming it does not determine its own salaries or receive special fiscal packages from the presidency. Senate spokesman, Yemi Adaramodu, stated that the Senate receives only the salary allocated constitutionally by the Revenue Mobilisation Fiscal Allocation Commission and that constituency projects are suggested by senators, not executed by them. The Senate dismissed Obasanjo's allegations as an attempt to discredit the legislative branch.
