The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is currently reviewing the salaries of the President, Vice President, governors, and other top officials.
The ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, stated that the initiative is poorly timed and displays a disconnect between leaders and citizens.
The party acknowledged RMAFC's constitutional mandate but noted that political leaders already receive numerous allowances and perks, placing them far above the national minimum wage.
The ADC condemned the lack of leadership empathy, saying government officials cannot demand sacrifices from citizens while seeking to cushion themselves from the same economic realities.
The party urged the Federal Government to channel efforts toward improving living standards, prioritizing a livable minimum wage, and supporting vulnerable Nigerians.
