What Can Two Million Do For A Family Man – Husband Of Nollywood Actress Attacked For Defending Akpabio

The husband of Nollywood actress, Stephanie Coker, David Aderinokun has come under heavy criticism following his statement concerning the ongoing controversy surrounding the holiday allowance of senators.

Naija News recalls that last week Monday, before the senate went on recess, the president of the senate, Godswill Akpabio said the Senate clerk sent a token to the lawmakers to enable them to “enjoy their holidays.”

A comment he later withdrew to say he was sending prayers into the mailboxes of all senators for the holiday.

The statement sparked a lot of controversy, as several Nigerians blamed the lawmakers for enjoying themselves whilst ignoring the economic hardship bedeviling many Nigerians.

However, reacting to the development, David O Aderinokun via his Twitter handle on Tuesday noted the two million given to senators wasn’t a big deal.

He stressed that the money was just too small for a senator, and doesn’t amount to much for a family man.

He wrote: “The 2m that was given to senators isn’t a big deal. It is even too small for a senator. What can a family man do with 2m Naira($2k). Why are we making it a big deal. But they shouldn’t have made it public. Making it public is a bit insensitive to plight of Nigerians.”

The statement did not sit right with social media users who flooded his comment section to slam and call out the politician.
