When pressed on his specific allocation, Nwoko affirmed receiving substantial funding, asserting it’s vital for fulfilling his duties to his constituents.

Although the Senate refutes any impropriety, Nwoko reiterated the funds are designated for public projects, not personal remuneration for lawmakers.
