Nigerians have a wrong perception of lawmakers pocketing a lot of money despite doing little – Buhari

President Buhari has dismissed the idea that lawmakers are "overly paid for doing a little job", labeling it as a misconception.

President Buhari praised the magazine as an "authoritative source" for information on the a...
