Lawmakers Deny Receiving ₦100m Palliatives

In a statement issued by Reps spokesman Akin Rotimi on Wednesday, September 13, 2023, the House rejected the claims made by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Assistant General Secretary, Christopher Onyeka, and demanded a public apology.

Christopher Onyeka had alleged that each member of the National Assembly had benefited from a hefty sum as palliatives from the government. The House of Representatives swiftly responded, labeling the claim as “baseless.”
