 Peter Obi Condemns Proposed Salary Hike for Nigerian Political Office Holders


Peter Obi, former presidential candidate and leader of the Labour Party, has publicly criticized the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) for its proposal to increase salaries for political office holders by over 100 percent. The announcement, made on Thursday, has reignited debates over public sector compensation amid Nigeria’s ongoing economic challenges.


Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Obi described the proposed salary hike as “insensitive” and “out of touch” with the realities faced by ordinary Nigerians, who are grappling with inflation, rising fuel prices, and widespread economic hardship. “At a time when citizens are struggling to afford basic necessities, proposing such a drastic increase for political office holders is unacceptable,” Obi stated. “Leadership should prioritize the welfare of the masses, not personal enrichment.”


The RMAFC’s proposal, which is still under review, would reportedly double the remuneration of elected officials, including lawmakers, governors, and other high-ranking public servants. The commission justified the move, citing the need to adjust salaries to reflect current economic realities and retain competent individuals in public service. However, specific details of the proposed salary structure and its implementation timeline remain undisclosed.


Obi urged the RMAFC to reconsider the proposal and focus on policies that alleviate poverty and promote equitable resource distribution. He also called for greater transparency in the commission’s decision-making process, demanding public consultations before any salary adjustments are finalized.


The proposal has drawn mixed reactions. Some Nigerians echoed Obi’s sentiments, with social media platforms buzzing with criticism of the government’s priorities. “How can they justify this when teachers and doctors are underpaid?” asked Amina Yusuf, a civil servant in Lagos. Others, however, argued that competitive salaries are necessary to curb corruption and attract qualified leaders.


The RMAFC has yet to respond to Obi’s remarks but stated it would consider stakeholder feedback before finalizing the proposal. Analysts suggest the controversy could further fuel public discontent with the government, especially as the nation prepares for upcoming elections.


Obi, a prominent figure known for his advocacy for fiscal responsibility, reiterated his commitment to pushing for policies that prioritize the needs of ordinary Nigerians. “Public office is a call to serve, not an opportunity for excessive gain,” he concluded.
