Unbelievable! Read how much politicians get for visiting Aso Rock

Under previous administrations, a chief or politician who
pays a visit to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa
is handed $100,000 or
$50,000 when leaving says Senator Babafemi Ojudu.

Jonathan-Buhari- Jonathan shows the Aso Rock to Muhammadu Buhari, Abuja, May 28, 2015.

The Special Adviser to
President Muhammadu
Buhari on political matters made the revelation in an interview with Leadership newspapers.
Senator Ojudu pointed out that his principal has put a stop to the
practice as such cash gifts are now diverted into productive services and the provision of
infrastructure.

In the words of Ojudu, “In the past, somebody would come to Aso Rock, a chief or a politician.

And they package
$100,000, $50,000 for him. The man gets
back to his hotel room, dashes his driver $500,
dashes his PA $1,000, his girl friend $200. This

etc.

“Let’s do something that is enduring for
our people. All these stop gap measures, going as subsidies,
we’re going to stop them. Let’s make our
refineries work.

Don’t let us make millionaires of a few and poor people of
millions.

“These are the kinds of
problems we’re having now. In the process of
change, all these things are bound to happen. This is one year, but
again, this new government never envisaged things will be this difficult.

“When we were campaigning, oil was still $112 per barrel. Nobody could have
thought it would just crash and become $33 per barrel. We’re now
on $40 per barrel.

Nobody envisaged that
our foreign reserve could go
as low as $28 billion. We were importing food.
We were importing
medication, we were paying school fees of
millions of Nigerians abroad.

What the government is doing now is: let’s take subsidy away
from these individuals that are getting it.

Let’s take money off bringing in food, let’s grow what we’re going
to feed on. This is going to take some time; it’s
not something that is going be done overnight.
Nigerians will have to be
patient. I can understand.

People call me every day that, they can’t pay school fees, they
can’t pay house rent. But again, if we want>>>CONTINUE READING>>>https://uzopedia.wordpress.com/2016/04/24/unbelievable-read-how-much-politicians-get-for-visiting-aso-rock/
