Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has stirred controversy by claiming that “Nigerians think senators make money, but we struggle after office.”
Wait, what?! At a time when millions of Nigerians are battling economic hardship, rising inflation, and youth unemployment, this statement is already setting social media on fire.
In case you don’t know; Nigerian senators reportedly earn over ₦30 million monthly, with mouth-watering allowances, exotic cars, and juicy pensions — yet we’re told they struggle after leaving office? what sort of l!e is this
Nigerians aren’t having it! Many are asking: What kind of struggle is he talking about?
Is this a joke or a tone-deaf attempt to gain sympathy? How are regular citizens supposed to survive if senators are “struggling”?
