Senator Sumaila Kawu, representing Kano South, has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of bringing corruption to the National Assembly.
Obasanjo had recently criticized lawmakers for setting their own salaries and allowances during Nigeria’s economic hardship.

In response, Kawu, who has recently made headlines for his comments on federal lawmakers’ compensation, challenged Obasanjo’s allegations.
“When you are talking about corruption, it is Obasanjo who introduced corruption into the National Assembly,” Senator Kawu said on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports reaffirmed his assertions.
“I have proof because it is his government and his associates who corrupted some members of the National Assembly for them to alter the Constitution for him to continue [to contest for a third term as president],” he said on the show.
Recall that Senator Kawu earlier revealed that each senator takes home N21 million monthly.
