Senator Ali Ndume, a legislator for Borno South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has released information about the amount of money that Senate President candidates split with senators-elect.
The legislator, who is one of the red chamber’s longest-serving members, claimed that some candidates boast of their ability to provide as much as $200,000 to other lawmakers in order to secure their votes.
The legislator was questioned on Arise TV over the amount of money given with senators-elect in order to buy their votes before to the 10th Senate leadership election.

“I’ve said it several times that the unfortunate thing that is happening is that the other candidates are talking about money.
“The only qualification that they are displaying is the amount of money that they tell Senators-elect that they can give them.
“People are talking about figures, but nobody has approached me. Some are talking about 10, 20, 30, 40 and even more than that.
“Some are even boasting that they will give every Senator up to $200,000. Figures are flying. That is the truth. That is honestly very unfortunate,” he said.
