 Meanwhile, the Labour Party presidential candidate in just concluded General Elections Peter Obie has condemned the recent approval of the 114% increase in the salaries of elected politicians including the President, Vice President, Governors, lawmakers as well as judicial and public office holders by the Revenue, Mobilization and Location and Fiscal Commission RMAFC. In a post via his verified Twitter handle on Thursday, Obie argued that the leadership and public office holders should have focused on cutting the cost of governance and alleviating the sufferings of Nigerians instead of even mulling an increase in their remunerations. He added that leaders should prioritize what affects the masses and those on the lower strata of society over themselves.
