The candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25th presidential election, Peter Obi, has condemned the proposed 114% salary increase for public officers describing the move as inappropriate at a time when over 130 million Nigerians are living in poverty.
Obi who took to Twitter to air his reservation with the plans, said the recent reform measures introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have increased living costs astronomically and public officials should focus on cutting the cost of governance and alleviating the sufferings of Nigerians.
