Senators, Other Lawmakers Yet To Donate Their December Salaries As Promised — Kaduna Community Bombed By Army Laments

Following the accidental bombing, which sparked a national outrage, several famous individuals and government officials donated monetary gifts to help the victims cope with their anguish and loss.
 

The victims of the Nigerian Army drone attack on Tundun Biri in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State have stated that the 109 senators in the National Assembly have yet to fulfill their pledge to donate their December 2023 salaries to them.

Following the accidental bombing, which sparked a national outrage, several famous individuals and government officials donated monetary gifts to help the victims cope with their anguish and loss.

During a condolence visit to Kaduna in December, the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, announced that the 109 senators would donate their December salary of N1 million, totaling N109 million, to the victims.

“We are here to represent the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and indeed, other senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to sympathize with you and condole with you for the lost lives and those who sustained injuries in respect of the unfortunate incident that happened at Tundun Biri in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna some few days ago,” the Deputy Senate President said.

“It is on this note that we have decided that we are going to donate our salaries for a full month to be given to those who were affected by this incident. So, a total of N109m will be made available to the governor to be channeled to help bring succor to those affected by the unfortunate incident at Tudun Biri,” Jibrin added.

However, we discovered that the senators had yet to fulfill the vow. It was discovered that many other people who had also pledged donations had yet to redeem them.

The spokesman, Yemi Adaramodu, confirmed that the members had yet to fulfill the vow but claimed that the delay was just technical.

“Any noticeable delay in the delivery of the Senate’s pledge to the victims of the unfortunate Kaduna State incident is merely procedural.
