In a recent exclusive interview, Nigerian Senator Orji Uzor Kalu conveyed that his monthly remuneration of ₦14 million is inadequate to fulfill his personal requirements as well as those of his constituents.
The interview, conducted by news correspondent Seun, covered a range of subjects, including the current state of the nation, allegations regarding the government’s procurement of SUVs for senators, and the challenges faced by the general populace.
When Seun questioned him about the reported SUV acquisitions, Senator Kalu maintained that no senator has received a personal vehicle from the government.
He clarified that these vehicles were designated for committee purposes, enabling all committee members to access them. Despite Seun referencing a Senate member who confirmed that each senator had received a vehicle, Kalu reiterated that he had not personally acquired one.
Nonetheless, as a committee member, he is eligible to utilize one of the SUVs.
As the conversation continued, Seun underscored that his concerns extend beyond the issue of SUVs; he pointed out the significant disparity between the lifestyles of senators and the hardships experienced by the masses, particularly in light of their considerable salaries.
Senator Kalu elaborated that, in his role as a representative, he undertakes numerous responsibilities, including covering educational expenses and medical costs for constituents in need.
He expressed regret that, despite his monthly salary of ₦14 million, it remains insufficient to adequately support both his personal needs and those of his constituency.
