Amidst the economic hardship Nigerians are facing due to the removal of fuel subsidy, the Senate has foreclosed the possibility of the National Assembly cutting down on their expenses.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, told journalists in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Monday that the National Assembly is not responsible for any economic hardship experienced in Nigeria.
OSUN DEFENDER gathered that Adaramodu who is representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, made the remarks after the tribunal ruled in his favour against Senator Biodun Olujimi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
