ADC Rejects Increase in Salaries of Political Office Holde: Party Says Nigerians Need Pay-Rise, Not Politicians.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised strong objections to the proposed salary increases for Nigeria’s political office holders, describing the move as tone-deaf and an affront to the struggling Nigeria people.

The proposed review by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission would see the President, Vice President, governors, and other top officials receive substantial pay increases at a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with the effects of inflation, rising fuel costs, and an inadequate minimum wage.

In a statement by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, the party notes the constitutional mandate of the RMAFC to review salaries of political office holders, but considering such at this time further underlines how far this government is disconnected from the reality of Nigerian people.

The full statement read:

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) strongly condemns the plan by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to increase the salaries of political office holders, including the President, Vice President, Senate President, governors, and other top officials.

We are aware of the Commission’s constitutional mandate to periodically review relevant emoluments of political office holders in the country. However, proposing such review at a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling with soaring food inflation, high cost of fuel, inadequate and largely unpaid minimum wage would indicate a total disregard for the people.

While the Chairman of RMAFC attempting to justify the proposed increases by describing the current pay structure of political office holders as "inadequate, unrealistic, and outdated," the ADC wishes to draw the public’s attention to the fact that these salaries are already supplemented with sundry bogus and opaque allowances, perks, and other discretionary funds, which together far exceed what ordinary Nigerians earn. How else are the political office holders able to support their lifestyle of luxury and opulence if indeed these “outdated” salaries means anything to them.

For perspective, our national minimum wage stands at N70,000 per month — a figure that has been largely eroded by the APC’s inflation, even where it has been paid. Yet, unlike public office holders, most Nigerians do not receive additional allowances or emoluments to cushion the effects of the rising costs of living. This is why, this proposed plan to increase the salaries of public office holders is not only tone-deaf, it is an all-out affront to the Nigerian people. It signals that the government is clearly disconnected from the struggles of ordinary citizens.

In light of these developments, the ADC demands that this absurd plan be suspended immediately.

No such increase should be implemented while ordinary citizens are grappling with extreme financial hardship. Government should focus on improving the lives of the people rather than improving the salaries of the President and other political office holders who already live in obscene indulgence.

Government has no moral right to demand sacrifice from ordinary citizens while they focus on making lives easier for themselves. Political office holders cannot be insulated from economic hardships, while the everyday-Nigerian suffers.

As a party, we strongly believe that rather than further enriching political elites, all government policies at this time should prioritize raising the minimum wage to a living standard, ensuring timely and fair salaries for our civil servants, and strengthening our social welfare programs to reach the most vulnerable Nigerians.

Signed:
Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi
National Publicity Secretary

THEY STRIPPED MY DAUGHTER N*KED OVER A SIMPLE ARGUMENT.

The father of Miss Comfort Emmanson, the Ibom Air passenger forcibly removed from a Lagos flight and subsequently imprisoned after an altercation with a flight attendant, has demanded justice and compensation for the humiliation inflicted on his family.

Godwin Emmanson Mbok, a tailor from Ikoro Abasi in Akwa Ibom State, described the incident as a deliberate attempt to tarnish his family’s reputation, criticizing the state government for failing to intervene.

Godwin Emmanson Mbok, a tailor from Ikoro Abasi in Akwa Ibom State, described the incident as a deliberate attempt to tarnish his family’s reputation, criticizing the state government for failing to intervene.

In an emotional interview with Is Real TV, the distraught father recounted how his daughter was stripped and her partial nudity circulated online over what he described as “a mere argument,” questioning whether the ordeal was linked to his lack of wealth or political connections.

The first time I saw this, I was deeply provoked. I’ve done all I could to send my child to school. Why would this happen? Is it because I don’t have money? Because I don’t know anyone in power?” he asked.

Emmanson detailed the emotional and financial strain the incident had caused, revealing the toll it has taken on his wellbeing. “I don’t feel like eating or doing anything. They stripped my child naked. She didn’t steal—this was over a simple disagreement,” he said, fighting back tears.

He questioned how such a violation could happen and called out both the airline and the Akwa Ibom State Government for failing to ensure justice. “What has the state government done? Is it because I am speaking up that nothing happened? Compensation must be paid,” he insisted.

Pointing to his sewing machine, he highlighted the struggles of raising his daughter under financial constraints. “This is what I use to train my child. I don’t have a shop; someone gave me this space because I couldn’t afford one. After hoodlums blocked my shop, I couldn’t rent another for over a decade,” he said.

Miss Emmanson was arrested on August 10, 2025, following a reported confrontation during the flight, allegedly for refusing to switch off her phone and later clashing with the purser. She was arraigned the next day and remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Facility.

The case went viral after videos circulated online showing her being prevented from leaving the aircraft and, in another clip, partially exposed while dragged off by airport security. Festus Keyamo condemned the footage’s release and vowed to sanction those responsible.

Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu criticized the handling of the case as “selective justice,” while Lagos lawyer Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya called for a transparent investigation and strict adherence to due process. The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) initiated a formal investigation after an eyewitness statement was submitted.

Subsequently, the aviation minister announced the withdrawal of criminal complaints against her and confirmed the lifting of Ibom Air’s lifetime flying ban. The incident echoes a similar dispute involving Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1) and ValueJet Airlines.
