With the prevailing economic situation in the country, will you support pay cut for legislators?
Yes I will, depending on what you mean by pay cut, but there has been drastic cut down by everybody. The legislatures budget has been slashed considerably. We also hear the executive bill has been slashed. Mr president also announced forfeiting half of their salaries. That is a good thing. But I think that we should look at the area of expenditure and not just salary. I advise that they get their full salary for the benefit of their families and look at the paraphernalia and all that. What is weighing down Nigeria's economy is not salaries of legislatures or executives, it is the leakages, the bottlenecks and corruption that Mr president is trying to fight now.
