But what is the salary of Nigerian elected politicians a secret? That's unheard of in an advanced society.

Those folks are public servants and they are being paid by Nigerian tax payers which means that their salaries and all remunerations should be public information. The tax payers have the right to know what their leaders are earning!

When a criminal is shouting and calling another person a criminal, how do you expect the public to believe him or take him serious? Peter Obi should go and hide his face.

Forget who the messenger is, it's the message that is important. I don't care if he is doing it because he isn't there anymore, if we can get it right, a whole lot of billions will be save, it could be use for people's salaries, and so on.

Let's consider the merits first, after all, the are all thieves that need to be lock down in a dungeon

Peter Obi's revelation should be fully looked into. We Nigerians have always been aware of the high cost of governace from local, state up to federal level However most of us were unable to put actual figures to this overwhelming cost, no wonder the shock in the public when the info on the monthly pay of Nigerian senators went viral. I am of the opinion that every one should lend a voice until this daylight robbery of the chunk of the proceeds of Nigeria's resources is eaten by a few all in the name of governance. This may just be the beginning of the end of this unnecessarily fat pay checks spent on running the government of Nigeria.

May God bless this man. This is the kind of brain that will change Nigeria for good. The convoy of the governor of my state(Imo state) is more than 20! For what?? Is he travelling with the whole staffers at the government house??

This peter obi is just a frustrated hypocrite. When he was governor of my state, he never for once disclosed or published how much he was collecting every month as security votes or even published the monthly or yearly account standing of the state. Upon leaving office, he hurriedly made up a fake sum of N75b as surplus to deceive his few supporters.

Sometime I can’t help but wonder how can someone’s life be so miserable and wretched. Why does the truth always pains you? I wonder why.

After getting your own share of the cookie jar for 8 years. Well done

How can I take u serious when you refuse to disclose the amount.keep deceiving ur self

#AMBODE MUST GO

i already carried calculator, you refused to tell us

While you continue to wallow in poverty. He is the best Governor anambra has ever had. You didn't read were he mentioned how he reduced the number of convoys he uses. If you want to know what he did about his salary, you can ask him.

...u can't go ahead nd run away from maths and other calculative assisted courses nd just to study english,law,history nd then open ur mouth nd sat rubbish about what u dnt know jack about...go to stories concerning omotola,geneveive,jakie appiah,wiskid nd the rest and comments. if not when you are here,simply ask questions and learn....

If this Peter really want me to believe all this he has been saying for months now he should not contest for any political post and lead a mass protest , then I will know he has interest of the masses at heart.

That's chino. Me and him have been here since OBJ was president and we know ourselves.

If Obi want Nigerians to take him serious, he should reveal the immoderate salaries that he earned while in office and let us judge him. When he was enjoying the immoderate salary, he kept quiet and enjoyed it. Now that he's out of office and seeking another opportunity at public office, he's hypocritically putting pressure on current governors with the intention to deceive gullible Nigerians. Once he gets back to public office, he will start enjoying the immoderate salaries and keep quiet again. Just go away with your double face hypocrisy Mr. Obi.

But it is never too late to correct a mistake. What all pro APC, pro PDP and non-partisan people should do is to agitate for a slash in the take home pay of elected officials. That way we can make political offices less attractive to this bunch of rent seekers and charlatans parading themselves as leaders on our political landscape.

The poorest Nigerian governor today is richer than 50 Nigerian senators put together.

We have an idea. We keep praying for new set of good leaders and follow up with actions.

Hit em where it hurts.

Lead a mass protest? While you hide under your bed, with your tail between your legs. You actually need that revolution far more than Mr peter obi. Its young people like us that lead protest

The wickedness of African Leadership...

Who will save us?

How many governors make ,money from their salaries? What about millions made from projects and contracts? Every governor is a rich a man in Nigeria-All these conferences and seminars with workshops are just ways of wasting times of the massess- please enough of this deception

Nigeria's prayers are working. Let us encourage this type of whistle blowing. I support the governors driving with proof cars, it will reduce his number of protectors.

Truth be told Nigeria is sinking in the hands of these politicians, but which youth want to take it by force from them, when they are ready to buy the youth with any amount of money and use them as campaign thugs. I have resulted not to allow any of my child study in this country even if it Ghana I can afford let them go there, because trust me most of these politicians knows what they are doing.

Read the message well.He said because he committed mistake in the past doesn't mean he can't correct it now.

Throwback:
Just like Obasanjo, Peter Obi is another who has been in a position to redefine politics and government either at the state or federal level, yet they only acquired wisdom after they left office.

Even the clueless Jonathan too forgets he was once a useless president and wants to give advice or political sophistries.

I predict Buhari too would become full of wisdom only after he has become irrelevant to influence a positive change.

You know they perform better when they are nolonger there or before they ever get there

If the spirit of good will to the public is touching them to begin to talk openly, it is a good sign that Nigeria will overcome it's present crop of political captors. It's a system beginning to implode.

ConAir:
He didn't disclose the amount he was been paid when he was a sitting governor.

We need a revolution, Nigeria is too corrupt. Earning millions while the poor masses are suffering, hungry.

Human lives are no longer sacred, people are killed like animals.

This administration is the worst in Nigeria history. The death toll is high when there is no ongoing war.

GOD help Nigeria.

gbamm.all the political class were corrupt. Youths follow me
