Over 1,000 Nigerians have indicated their readiness to join the Socio-Economic Right And Accountability Project in its suit against the planned move by the National Assembly to spend N4.68 billion ‘welcome package’ on newly elected lawmakers.
It was reported that the National Assembly planned to spend the money on four hundred and sixty-nine lawmakers who were elected on the platform of various political parties after their inauguration in June.
In condemning the move, SERAP said it was illegal for the lawmakers to receive N4.6 billion and vowed to sue the members of the National Assembly to stop the illicit enrichment.
