Kalu Reveals Senators Earn N14m Monthly, Says It’s Barely Enough

Former Abia State Governor and current Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has opened up about his monthly income as a Nigerian Senator, stating that it amounts to N14 million.
Kalu shared this information during an interview on Channels Television, shedding light on the misconceptions some Nigerians hold about the luxurious lifestyle they believe federal lawmakers lead.
According to him, the notion that senators are living lavishly while many citizens struggle in poverty is not accurate.
In Nigeria, there has long been confusion regarding how much federal lawmakers earn.
Various claims have surfaced, with some legislators reportedly stating that their monthly income reaches up to N21 million.
However, Kalu clarified that his total earnings, which include the entire package for his duties as a senator, stand at N14 million.
This sum, he explained, covers overhead costs, staff salaries, and other expenses associated with his office.
Kalu also elaborated on how insufficient the N14 million is for his responsibilities.
He mentioned that this amount barely suffices to maintain his constituency office, pay for petrol required for travelling to and from his constituency, and manage other financial obligations related to serving his people.
He made it clear that managing these costs can be challenging, especially given the expectation that lawmakers should be constantly available for their constituents and provide support where necessary.
The debate surrounding the earnings of federal lawmakers in Nigeria continues, with many citizens feeling disconnected from the political elite.
However, Kalu’s statement brings attention to the pressures that come with public office and the financial burdens lawmakers may face behind the scenes.

Singer Charly Boy Reacts to ADC’s 2027 Plans: “Is It About Change or Power?”

Nigerian singer Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the recent political move by the political party African Democratic Congress (ADC).
It can be noted that the party is gearing up to challenge President Tinubu’s position in the 2027 elections.
The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.
“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”
“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”

Amaechi Says Buhari Performed Better Than Tinubu

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.

Amaechi Says It’s Time for a Southern President to Rule Nigeriar

Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.
He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”
Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
