Obasanjo says it is unconstitutional for Lawmakers to decide their

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described the self-determination of lawmakers’ emoluments as immoral and unconstitutional, decrying that those who should uphold the constitution are the ones who undermine it.

The former President made this known while delivering a speech at the 60th anniversary celebration of legal icon Aare Afe Babalola’s call to the Bar held in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.

According to Obasanjo, salary allocation for elected officials is the responsibility of the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission, which he says the lawmakers had jettisoned to fix salaries for themselves.
