When the senator representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District,
Ben Murray Bruce, revealed why he does not give a hoot about making money in
the Senate, little did he know he was going to get the attention of some of his
followers who would negate him.
Ben
Murray-Bruce
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!”

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. Read reactions to his tweet
below:

@benmurraybruce Yes,
but you still earn an obscene amount in the context of the Nigerian economy
even if it doesn’t make you any richer.

Meanwhile, the
senator recently faulted the calls
by some state governors to reduce the minimum wage of N18,000 downward. He
advised state governors against contemplating with the move which according to
him is unjustifiable.
