Peter Obi Reacts To Proposed Salary Increase For Political Office Holders
Peter Obi, the 2023 LP presidential candidate, criticized the proposed salary increase for political office holders, calling it unjustifiable and prioritizing greed over basic welfare. Obi expressed concern over the insensitivity of the government and the economic reality of the country.
He urged the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to redirect its focus towards improving the living conditions of public workers, particularly underpaid and overworked police officers. Obi emphasized that political office should be a service to the nation, not an opportunity for leaders to accumulate wealth.
The RMAFC's move to review political salaries has sparked widespread debate, with some Nigerians criticizing it amid economic hardship, while others see it as a step towards fiscal fairness and reform.
