The lawmaker representing Yagba East/West/Mopamuro constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon Leke Abejide on Thursday had a screenshot of his monthly salary displayed on a Channels Television live program.
According to the screenshot, which was broadcast on Sunrise Daily, Abejide earns about N697,000 monthly.
But he did not provide evidence for allowances and constituency projects.
Abejide said being a lawmaker was not lucrative as his constituents expect him to provide for their special needs.
“The allowances you talk about – I have staff, then people in the constituency are also there waiting for me. In a month, I don’t think I have up to N1.5 million. And I have family to take care of.
