Banky W, stated this while speaking during a debate against four other candidates in Lagos on Monday, February 4, 2019.
He said that responsibility is one of the major issues in governance and believes he will confront the circumstances with everything in his reach.
He asserted that he will make his salary and allowances as a legislator public to all Nigerians and ensure transparency in disbursing the constituency allocations by consulting regularly with the people.
In his speech,
“Most of us don’t know who our representatives are, talk less of their salary and allowances and constituency allocations that they receive every year most of the time to enrich themselves.
How I plan to address it myself directly is first of all, I’ll publish what I earn as a legislator my salary, my allowance, the allocation given to Eti-Osa, I will publish it.
We will have town halls and an active constituency office to engage the community to say this is the allocation that we’ve received, this is what we intend to spend it on.” �ί_���D
