The senator took to his twitter page not long ago to disabuse the minds of everyone who cares to know by saying: ”People who think I’m in the Senate to make money amuse me. Every month, I pay over 1000 people above minimum wage. God blessed my hard work!”

While some hailed him for not following others in the house, the senator’s tweet obviously didn’t go well with some of his followers. One of them even claimed the senator stole money from Nigerian Television Authority money as a director general. The twitter user telling the senator to shut up, claimed he was able to steal the money with the help of late Stella Obasanjo, a former first lady, who was the senator’s girlfriend as at the time.
