SENATOR Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, Senate spokesman, has said the statements made by his colleague from Kaduna State, Senator Shehu Sani, on the salaries and funds for running of offices of Senators did not disclose anything new.
The figures he gave out, according to Abdullahi, was about about the running cost of the offices of Senators which were contained in various line items and expenditure heads of  the budget of the National Assembly which has been made public.
He dismissed any insinuations that Sani’s colleague were unhappy with him.
Abdullahi said if people had looked critically at the budget of the National Assembly which has since been made public, they would have seen that various line items like traveling, medicals, consultancy and the rest were captured in the budget and they were the funds divided for each Senator’s use.
“Almost all holders of elective and appointive offices have running costs allocated to their offices and that cannot be said to be part of their salaries”, Abdullahi stated.
