Senate President, Bukola Saraki,Wednesday, acknowledged receiving a letter from former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, drawing his attention to alleged corruption in the National Assembly.
However, Saraki, said he was still studying the letter and that he would formally write a reply to the former president in no time.
This came as the Senate spokesman, Aliyu Sabi, feigned ignorance of the presence of the letter in the Red Chamber just as he said he would not comment on it until his attention was drawn to the letter.
The Senate President, responding to inquiry on whether he was in receipt of the letter, confirmed that the said letter was presently on his table.
Speaking through his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki, insisted that he would officially communicate the former president on the issues he raised.
“The Senate President has acknowledged that he has received the letter and that he
would formally communicate the former president,” Olaniyonu said.
The former president specifically accused the lawmakers of fixing and earning salaries and allowances far above what the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, approved for them.
