The statement was titled: ‘No presidential approval for salary increase for political office holders and judicial officers.’
Thursday’s statement follows reports that the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission had approved a 114 per cent increase in the salary of the President, Vice President, elected federal and state political office holders, as well as judicial officers.
“While we recognise that it is within the constitutional remit of the RMAFC to propose and fix salaries and allowances of political office holders and judicial officers, such cannot come to effect until it has equally been considered and approved by the President,” Alake noted. The Presidency, which said RMAFC had debunked the story making the rounds, alleged that the narrative was “contrived to create ill-will for the new administration, slow down the upward momentum and massive goodwill the Tinubu-led administration is currently enjoying among Nigerians as a result of its fast-paced, dynamic and progressive policies.”All rights reserved.
