Karu said each member goes home with N9.3 million, but Ossai disagreed.
Karu said the N9.3m includes the monthly salary and office running costs.
Karu, who spoke on Thursday in Abuja at an event to mark Nigeria’s 60th anniversary, tagged: Fixing Nigeria at 60 – Sustainable and Efficient Democracy: Issues on Accountability and Transparency in Governance, said: “The official salary of a member of the House of Representatives, which I also receive monthly, is N800,000. I told you I was going to say it. Why don’t you wait for me to say it? The office running cost of a member is N8.5 million.
But Ossai, who chairs the House Committee in Treaties, Agreements and Protocols, asked the audience to disregard the information.
Ossai, who is one of the oldest members of the House, said: “I have never received such salary since I came to the National Assembly and I have been in the National Assembly before him.”
