The Osun-born lawmaker further revealed N8 million is also being deducted from their salary every month for a car loan.

He added that a senator is entitled to six aides who are being paid by the national assembly service commission directly into their account.

Bashiru said; 

“What I tell whoever that stands up to say senator collects jumbo pay is that they can also contest so that you can also collect jumbo pay. 

“The truth of it is that the take-home pay of a senator is about N700,000 per month. Aside from it is the car loan of over N8 million which is being deducted monthly.

“As a senator, you are entitled to six aides who are paid by the National Assembly Service Commission and they are paid directly into the account. Will you count that as my salary?

“Also, I am entitled to travel allowance and Eastacode which does not form part of the salary.”

Senator Bashiru who affirmed that the country will only make marginal savings if the national assembly is scrapped. He also called for the reorganization of government agencies so they can be more valuable and efficient.
