The Presidency has distanced President Muhammadu Buhari from reports that there will be a downward review of ministers’ salaries.

A newspaper report had claimed that Buhari would cut the salaries of ministers significantly and place some restrictions on them.



But the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a series of tweets, on Saturday, denied the reports.

He said, “President Buhari has not tampered with the salaries and allowances of federal ministers. They remain as they have been prescribed by the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission under a law passed in 2008.

“The President and the Vice President have voluntarily offered a 50 per cent salary cut. This is[right][/right] voluntary and does not apply to ministers and other political appointees.

“Reports to the effect that the President has imposed an austere package on the ministers are unknown to us. The administration has not tampered with the salaries of ministers and that remain as prescribed under the law.”

I'm confused oo, i was rejoicing that ministers won't be collecting naija money finish.
Now Fed Idiot Govt is denying that. E nor good o.
Una go say this con deny later. If this is the proposed "change" , you have failed!

The salaries were never cut. The numbers published last week was consistent with current renumerations for their offices.

It was just the APC Zombies clutching at straws in an attempt to salvage a thoroughly battered image of their lord buhari by claiming non-existent salary cuts.

APC no go kill us ooo!
Useless pipo

This government sef..... When you rejoice over a good thing they have done they come out to deny it. I wonder who advises these people.

Boko Haram: See What Buhari Was Caught Doing In Iran. SEE IT HERE>>>>>www.intensetalk.com

Good to know that they read the reports at least , cos if recent it seems the govt is not aware of what is happening amongst the populace. They probably read nairaland too.. who knows ?

But hope isn't lost. I will still shout Sai Buhari till 2019.

Government of denial say something today deny tomorrow if you believe anything from this government then to deceive you no hard

;Dhahaha,i laff in igbo.
Just recently,buhari zombies cows were rejoicing at what they thought was "a good policy" from their cattle rearer and a "fatal silencer" to the wailers not knowing they've been fooled again!! .
6months wasted, none of dullarpos promises are near being fufilled,heck hes' denied most of em.
APC is the biggest fraud of the century,even the "sai baba" howlers are frustrated .
Enjoy your change nigerians.
onwebeghi ihe ifu

I knew it was a lie...

With that letter..
The ministers job won't look attractive again...

DTA 35K??

And other ridiculous amounts...


What's happening with our media dis days?

Lies are peddled so fast...
But the truth doesn't go anywhere..

The bottom line is that "Buhari accorded too much power on the GCFR" he tot he can always have his way. Now that he is feeling the HEAT GEJ felt, he is "EATING his words" The next time he denies, he is going to apologize to Jonathan

When Olisa Metuh said that Buhari and APC are not ready for the business of governance, Adesina called him a broken record but now he has been vindicated

Hum hum, End time president with End time ministers, govern End time country, I wouldn't mind to get End time likes from my fellow Friends in End time crew........

With the kick backs they get from contractors and directors in the MDAs, they won't even need salaries, lol... You can ask Vice Chancellors and Chief Medical Directors of tertiary institutions.

Worthless gist Adesina (Propaganda)
Correct and reasonable gist (Garba Shehu).

That means oga dey do dirty work while assistant dey do clean work.

I rest my case.

UncleSnr:
I been think say Devil was the father of all lies, APC just proved me wrong.

The devil saw the lies emanating from APC and screamed; "Jesus Christ!!"

Flets:

It's not an APC thing. The difference is that they no longer have unlimited access to public funds. They don't have contracts to inflate and award to themselves. I look forward to similar controls in the National Assembly.

They can't cut salary of those thieves in the name of politicians but they want to reduce minimum wage of 18k




May the most deadlier sickness attack y'all
