Nigerian senator who replaced a deceased lawmaker barely 10 months to the expiration of the Seventh Assembly under David Mark

A Nigerian senator who replaced a deceased
lawmaker barely 10 months to the expiration of
the Seventh Assembly under David Mark,
received full four-year pay for accommodation
and furniture, the government’s audit report has
shown.
The 2014 audit report said the lawmaker was
overpaid by nearly N8 million.
The report released this year, had earlier been
submitted to the National Assembly, but its full
details recently became public.
It contains shocking revelations of how state
resources were squandered on bogus spending,
and how officials, in many cases, arbitrarily spent
billions of naira without explanations.
“A Senator who was elected to replace a
deceased Senator, in the month of September
2014, 10 (ten) months to the expiration of the
7th Senate was found to have been paid full
Accommodation and Furniture Allowance (of
Four Years),” the report disclosed.
