LAGOS \u2013 Textile workers in\u00a0 the country have said the on-going crises in the House of Representatives over N10 billion bank loan has proved the Governor of the Central Bank, CBN, Malam\u00a0 Lamido Sanusi, right\u00a0 in his assertion about the indulgence and intolerable high salaries and allowances of the members of the National Assembly, NASS.<\/p>\n

The National General Secretary of the union, Comrade Issa Aremu, however, said \u201cit is sad that they (NASS members) cannot see the linkage between their daily self-help through generous allowances and dwindling national scarce resources\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to Aremu, \u201cwhat is gulped by the legislators can certainly not be available to bury dead youth corps members; victims of violence and take care of their dependants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aremu said, \u201cthat the crises was mainly on how to repair ongoing crisis in the House of Representatives over N10bn bank loan by the House leadership to ostensibly enable it settle unpaid salaries and allowances of house members has conclusively proved that the CBN\u2019s Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was right when he earlier raised alarm about the indulgence and intolerable pay of the legislators and that 25 per cent of the nation\u2019s annual recurrent overhead was spent on lawmakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever the eventual resolution of the recent financial scandal in the House, increasingly the greatest threat to Nigeria\u2019s democracy is the seemingly exhibited greed and arbitrary self-help of public office holders especially the legislators.<\/p>\n

House hypocrisy
\u201cThe incoming lawmakers must look at bigger picture of Nigeria\u2019s under-development and poverty; not petty\/selfish personal picture that preoccupied the outgoing Assembly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
