Towing the line of the House of Representatives, the Senate has also threatened to take legal action against the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over the claim that lawmakers got N100 million each as a palliative from the federal government.
Christopher Onyeka, an aide to the NLC President Joe Ajaero, allegedly claimed that members of the National Assembly received over N100 million each as a palliative to cushion the effect of the petrol subsidy removal.
But Senate Spokesman, Yemi Adaramodu described the claim as strange and a ploy by the media to bring the Nigerian parliament into disrepute and pitch the legislators against the Nigerian public.
He warned the NLC leadership to place national interest above partisan pessimistic outbursts.
