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 Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Vanguard reports.
