Our people sha. Instead of encouraging more political office holders to subscribe to pay cut, this one is here talking bullshït.

Inasmuch as reducing his salat doesn't need any legislative backing, PMB can simply communicate his decision to the appropriate time quarters and the necessary adjustments will be made:

Buhari Does Not Have Right To Cut His Salary — Odinkalu
Channels Television. 
Updated July 13, 2015
The National Human Rights Commission says the Nigerian President, Vice President and Governors have no powers, under the law, to cut their salaries.



A professor of law and the Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Professor Chidi Odinkalu, told Channels Television on Sunday that the right to cut salaries rests with the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission.

“This idea of Governors, President or Vice President slashing their salaries, I think it is alluring and a lot of people will welcome it.

“But I will caution that there is going to be a process here, the salaries of the President, Vice President and Governors are not set by them and they actually don’t have the powers under the law to cut their own salaries.

“That is done by the Revenue mobilisation, allocation and fiscal commission,” he said.

Professor Odinkalu further stressed that there was no law that empowered the President to cut his salary.

President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had last week said they would only take 50 per cent of their salaries, as part of their commitment to cutting cost of governance.

The decision was welcomed by most Nigerian, as they believed it was a good way for the President to begin the fulfilment of his promise to cut cost.

But Mr Odinkalu suggested that for the President, Vice President and Governors to cut their salaries, there should be a review of the constitution to empower them to take such decisions.

“What will happen is that they can collect their salaries and decide to donate 50 per cent of that back to the state. We need a system to get that money and be able to use it for public purpose.

“Let us not because of populism do something that is not authorised by law.

“A democratic system is a system of law and we do not elect the President and Governors to do what is unlawful,” he warned.

it's the truth. it's d responsibility of the agency called Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to review the salary of every civil and political officer working for the government. if there's a need to review the salary structure of the entire civil service, the agency only needs to send a communique to the presidency stating its intention to carry out d job. what Buhari and other state governors are doing is just a populist agenda which has no legal backing. we don't even know what they earn, tackles of cutting down their wages.

Don't mind that jandaweed: I don't know when it has become a crime to exercise 'freedom of choice' as enshrined in the constitution.

Odinkalu is right in his submission. It doesn't matter what has prompted the President to take this decision. The danger here is the precedent, what if he decides to increase his salary tomorrow? There must be a procedure for everything under a democratic system which believes so much in the rule of law. If his action is not tamed now whether it's a welcome development or otherwise, we will only encourage him to act outside the content of our constitution. A pay cut is a positive change but must follow a legal process otherwise it becomes illegal.

Permit me to educate you a bit. It is trite at law that whatever the constitution or legislation doesn't prohibit, the constitution or legislation allows. This simply means that provided the constitution or any law doesn't expressly or impliedly proscribe the slashing of salaries by these elected representatives, they can go ahead with such acts. I do not blame the learned professor anyway, things like this happen when pple fail to learn law at the right institutions.

The only thing that could cause problem is when they increase their salaries.Must we wait for the house to pass a bill before good things re been done ?the answer is no,everyone has the freedom of contract as entrenched in the constitution, they reserved the right to choose either to be paid or not to be paid
