According to the former president, the federal lawmakers got N200 million each, and they collected it, adding that it was wrong for the lawmakers to design their salaries by themselves.

His words read:

"In your own case, with all due respect, you're not supposed to fix your salaries. But you decide what you pay yourself, the allowances that you give yourself, new paper allowances. You give yourself all sorts of things, and you know it is not right. It is immoral. "You're doing it, the Senate is doing it, and you beat your chest. In some cases, the executive gives you what you're not entitled to. You all got N200 million."

The former president made the comment while hosting six members of the House of Representatives led by Ugochinyere Ikenga at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta on Friday, August 9.

The lawmakers have come to seek the former president's support on the bill to establish six-year single terms for presidents and governors at the national assembly.
