Saraki Vows To Respond To Obasanjo’s Letter On Corruption In NASS

The Chairman of the National Assembly and
President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki has
promised to respond in no time to a letter by
former President Olusegun Obasanjo calling his
attention to alleged corruption in the nation’s
apex law-making body.

The Senate President, reacting through his
media aide, Yusuph Olaniyonu, confirmed
receipt of the letter and said he was still
studying it, and would respond shortly to the
issues raised in the letter.
“The Senate President has acknowledged that
he has received the letter and that he would
formally communicate the former
president,”Olaniyonu said.
While the content of the said letter has not been
made public, the former President is believed to
have addressed issues bordering on alleged
corruption, greed and impunity by the National
Assembly.
Obasanjo accused the lawmakers of fixing and
approving for themselves fantastic salaries and
allowances far beyond the recommended
figures of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation
and Fiscal Commission, Vanguard reports.
