El-Rufai vs Dogara: Speaker Reveals Monthly Pay Slip



Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara yesterday revealed his monthly pay slip for six months.

The slips were released by Dogara’s spokesman, Turaki Hassan. The pay roll shows that the speaker earned N346,577 thousand for October 2016 to January 2017. He received N206,577 in February 2017 and N276,577 for March 2017.

El-Rufai had on Monday made public some aspects of the state’s security budget, following a challenge last Friday by Dogara. He also challenged the National Assembly to do same.

But speaking at a press briefing yesterday, House spokesman, Abdulrazak Namdas (APC, Adamawa) said el-Rufai only published the state’s security budget and not his personal security votes against the challenge by the speaker for all state governors to make their budgets public.
