I saw this thread on FP and on several other blogs and platforms. As every Nigerian I was disgusted but need to know more.
Then I went to the page of one of my mentors on Twitter for his analysis and I was not disappointed.
Clear explanation with facts devoid of any sentiments.

Read on please for knowledge
114% Salary increase for Elected officials, appointees, National Assembly & Judicial Officers:
What are the issues?

The Revenue Mobilization Allocation & Fiscal Commission was established by Decree 49 of & later amended by Decree 98 of 1993 (now RMAFC act Cap R7 LFN 2004). Section 153 (1) of the 1999 constitution as amended is listed as one of the 14 Federal Executive Bodies. That is the reason FG can’t dissolve it.

Members are Chairmen & 35members from states & 25% FCT. Part of their mandate is the remuneration package for political office holders. Paragraph 32 (d) of Part 1 to the third schedule as well as Sections 70,84,111 $ 124 of the 1999 constitution had in the year 2000 & 2007 recommended remuneration for political office holders. What is the process: RMAFC shall recommend an increase in wages to the President.
The President in council with his Ministers (No Minister now) CAN APPROVE or REJECT the proposal. If the President approves, the President sends an EXECUTIVE BILL to the National Assembly to pass into law. Assuming National Assembly passed the bill into law as was done in 2002 (Certain Political, Public and Judicial office holders [Salaries & Allowances] Act 2002, states house of Assemblies must CONCUR (2/3 of 36states).

So, is there any law for a 114% salary increase for the above officers by law? The answer is NO. Is there any proposal by RMAFC for 114%? The answer is, yes. Recall the same RMAFC made an attempt to review salary increases in 2009 to 2015, but they FAILED. NASS &36 states assemblies could not pass the bill. The last review of salaries and allowances for elected officials was done in 2008.
In conclusion, there is nothing in LAW as per 114% increase for elected officials. The exercise for salary increases started in 2022. This exercise is entirely different from salary increase for public and civil servants or national minimum wage. People should stop misleading their followers.

The above clarifies that there is nothing like a 114% increase as alleged by some blogs and accusing Tinubu.
Read slowly and stop displaying illiteracy.
