Aganga and Sanusi summoned to national Assembly to teach lawmakers simple arithmetic
Maybe it's the bow-tie

 

Abuja - Contrary to wide spread speculations, the minister for finance and the governor of the central bank are not in trouble for haven 'run their mouths' carelessly over state matters.

The duo have at various times over the past weeks, made extremely fantastic utterances capable of destabilizing the country. For instance, at a recent gathering of students, Lamido Sanusi, the CBN Governor, is said to have used the N word (Naija), which has been banned by the minister for information.

Sanusi also recently claimed that 25% of the Nation's budget is designated as lawmaker's awoof. While not at all shocking - considering that Nigerian lawmakers are the highest paid in the world - several Nigerians are still finding the revelation a little hard to believe. As one 'Abuja Big Girl' put it: "Twenty-five percent? I don't believe it. Everyone knows that Honourables tip between fifteen to twenty-five k, and senators, between fifty and a hundred. If they really get 25% of Nigeria's money, wouldn't they be tipping more?"

Sanusi's statements have also caused great consternation amongst economists who fear that his unbridled enthusiasm to uphold the tenets of free speech might ultimately have a negative impact on the economy.

Speaking at the University of Ibadan, Professor Emeritus (Emeritus being his name, not a title) said:"How unfortunate. How so very unfortunate. His (Sanusi's) claim that lawmakers take home 25% of the national cake is bound to have an inflationary effect on the economy. All the economic agents who depend on these so called lawmakers for their livelihoods are bound to jack up their prices. Phones will become more expensive, dollars that they spray at parties will go up in price, their lady friends will ask for more allowance… and on and on until the hike in prices has permeated every aspect of the economy."

Despite the mass call for blood letting and lawmaker-lynching, a member of the house of assembly has claimed that lawmakers are unperturbed by the CBN governor’s assertions or by the uproar it has caused.

According to him, Sanusi and Aganga were invited to the National Assembly to simply demonstrate to the Lawmakers how they came up with the 25% figure.
Off record, he hinted that the CBN governor's reckless talk might have left some lawmakers feeling short-changed as they had actually been led to believe that they were milking the nation of half of its yearly budget and not a paltry 25%.
