Speaking to ThisDay, Senator Borrofice said the controversial N8.64bn to be released to members of the National Assembly is for miscellaneous or regular expenses such as motor vehicle fueling and maintenance, wardrobe, domestic staff, personal assistant, constituency office, house maintenance, utilities and entertainment, among other perks, for the entire 469 lawmakers in the National Assembly.
Senator Borrifice said the miscellaneous allowance also includes cost of securing and equipping constituency offices in various local government areas which make up their constituencies and also includes monies to be used by lawmakers to organize town hall meetings in their various constituencies.
He said it was wrong for the public to believe they will be using N8.64 billion just for clothes.
According to him, the wardrobe allowance is the least significant to the assembly members. He stated that the miscellaneous allowance they will receive will be deducted in tranches from their salaries.
The report of the lawmakers collecting N8.64 billion as their wardrobe allowance surfaced yesterday June 16th with most Nigerians strongly condemning it.

Nigerians love celebrating ignorance why??? Smh, always looking for means to make empty noise even when they isn't concrete evidence about the statement, all thanks to social media!
Their cup of tea. My turn will come
Why did they take so much time to deny it? this is just to cover up, because the public reacted
Lies from pit of hell... We the citizens kick against this. NASS should stop this daylight robbery.
And what's the difference, was waiting to know what formed the miscellaneous expenses only to see jokes like cost of fuel, entertainment and even the same wardrobe allowance.
They are not serious, the masses are already making sacrifices in the face of harsh economic condition, they shouldn't be left out.
On Friday we Occupy NASS.

Go and seat down SINator..What difference does it make..when 90 percent of the youth are unemployed and your defending your selfish interest
WE May NT Hear AGN, EVN WEN DEY R PAID...TOMJErRYSWIT
The wardrobe allowee has always b there.Y is this man denying it, as if it wasnt bcos of personal gain he went there for. Abegy!
Holy Moses! miscellaneous expenses runs into billions while the hungry and toiling masses are still managing 18k minimum wage for main expenses.I dont care if this has been the norm from previous administrations but this regime promised to cut down cost of administration,and this ecactly negates that.This isnt fair.
He said it all "He said it was wrong for the public to believe they will be using N8.64 billion just for clothes".
Nigerians we can reacts wit out justification, and verification of d facts thereof. Thank God dis case has b put to rest.
Idiet.
Ben Bruce said it wasn't true yesterday, dz one is coming to say another thing today.. I don't believe this politicians a bit.. They r actually there to share d money nt to work.. Idiots
He is a big fool..What still is the essence of having such a miscellanous amout as a salary. Time to call a spade a spade. This lawmakers get a lot of money for just sitting down and supporting whichever bill pays them the most money. How many of them stay in their constituencies or even relate with people from there. They should be paid in line with how civil servants who actually do majority of the work

What is the difference,whether miscellaneous or wardrobe or regular allowances,they are all the same,in a period that most civil servants/pensioners have not been paid for several months by their respective state gvts, Haba! This whooping sum is to be lavished on a minute number who may never pass any reasonable bill that will be beneficial to the generality of Nigerians,,I think it's time we took a second look at the type of Government we are running..our elite/leaders are note in tune with the masses Bcos they hav always been insulated somehow from the masses sufferings..
Ook, we hope so...
This sum is just for the national assembly,what about the executive arm,a situation where u have 2 ministers occupying one ministry all in the name of 'substantive minister' and 'minister of state',can someone pls explain to me their difference cos I don't still get it,they are doing one and the same work,..What is the difference b/w the Police and civil deffence corps,what is the difference b/w the traffic unit of the police(yellow fever) and the 'Road safety corps' and 'The VIO' for instance I don't get it..what of ICPC and EFCC and 'Code of conduct bereuo' or the role of the speciall assistant on media and minister of information or The ministry of information and National Orientation agency,me iam just confused, the list goes on and on,how will anythn work with all these bourgeois and bellow performing duplicated formats I tire oh!

Thanks Bonario for your "spot on" comments.
Service is not the mantra of our politicians. That's why they kill themselves to get into elected offices.
This is just the beginning of the looting. Expect many more trillions to be appropriated to these thieving politicians.
They are leeches on our commonwealth!
Lies

Hi guys, Join this BBM Channel for Updates, Entertaining Write-ups and mind blowing informations.... C004D9564
All our politicians are corrupt.May God deliver us from them. They are selfish and do not care about the masses. I hate all of them.
It’s a shame how the change is unfolding, where in the world will this huge amount of money be used on such frivolous listings as he has just enumerated?
Again the country really needs some cleansing or this will never stop.
A country where so called 18 states cannot pay salaries of justified workers, where graduates are churned out of our universities every day and can’t boast of even menial jobs yet these rogues that will never be able to pass a bill that will ameliorate the suffering of the masses will be collecting 8.64 billion naira even in the face of dwindling oil prices just sleeping and snoring in the senate chambers.
What a shame we have in this country and what a pity for any one that still holds a dream for Nigeria when we have people like Borofice who will shamelessly list things like these as a justification for collecting that amount of money.
8.64 billion naira for miscelleanous expenses???
The former news was more considerable than this rubbish
*sigs*
Habitual old liars...
We just need to change our political structure to correct all this irregularities in Governance.

Olodo
Criminals I don't believe them, they are all the same just after what they will get for themselves mtewww!!!
Bonario, you obviously don't know what it means to run an office, talk less of a constituency office! Anyways, I am sure u read that the monies would be removed from their salaries periodically?
This senator should keep shut !!! he is the most selfish senator with his SA ajanaku!
The barrister, A friend went to them for support for her project, the barrister told my friend there is only N2,340 in the office purse lol, that he cant be of any assistance. after my friend visited over 5 times!!!! no support at all, same friend came back and said if you cant support my project, at least help with a job, its been over a year now, no call for a job or anything for that mater!!! but the other person that visited his own senator, sen kunlere got him a civil service job. so i wonder what he uses all the allocation he gets for? ondo north is a mess!!! and he is here supporting for close to 9b allocation. His SA is just getting fat like a domestic pig.....
