THE proposed N30,000 minimum wage seems to have become a campaign issue ahead of next year’s election.

To the Presidency, the controversy over President Muhammadu Buhari’s position on what the least paid worker should earn is “concocted”.



It accused yesterday some political actors, including the Atiku Media Office, of trying to score cheap political goals, warning that “stiff judgment awaits them at the polls”.

Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina was reacting to comments by the Atiku Media Office, which said “President Buhari cannot be trusted to implement the ‘new’ minimum wage of N30, 000’’ recommended by the Pepple tripartite committee”.

Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said: “Buhari may not have the political will to implement the new wage’’.

Adesina said: “Those who have latched onto the concocted controversy to play cheap politics, we appeal to them to remember that elections are not won through loquaciousness, and trying to demean the President at every drop of a hat.

“But then, it is not surprising, as they have nothing else to sell to Nigerians, if they don’t ride on the name of the President. Stiff judgment awaits them at the polls.’’

The presidential aide frowned at the recurring reports alleging that Buhari had reneged on an earlier acceptance of the N30,000 recommended as the new National Minimum Wage by the National Minimum Wage Tripartite Committee.

He noted that these reports were contrary to what transpired on Tuesday when the committee presented its report to the President.

Adesina said the President, while acknowledging the concerns raised by government on affordability and labour’s focus on meaningful increase, stated clearly in a speech, which was made available to the media, that:

“In a way, both arguments are valid. I want to assure you all that we will immediately put in place the necessary machinery that will close out these open areas.

“Our plan is to transmit an Executive Bill to the National Assembly for passage within the shortest possible time. I am fully committed to having a new National Minimum Wage Act in the very near future.

“As the Executive Arm commences its review of your submission, we will continue to engage you all in closing any open areas presented in this report. I, therefore, would like to ask for your patience and understanding in the coming weeks.”



Adesina observed: “From the above, and throughout the report-submission ceremony, the President never mentioned any figure. What he committed himself to was a new minimum wage, and only after the Report of the committee has been reviewed by the executive and legislative processes of government and an appropriate bill presented to him for assent.

hmm

The simple question is, what happened to implementation of the proposed minimum wage? How does meeting PDP at the polls answer the question.

Now they claim no figure was given thereby indirectly holding on to N25,000 or N22,000 which was rejected.

Yet not a single press statement from NLC..

Seriously I have stopped arguing with online ranters

Online voting is different from normal voting

Those beating there chest now never voted him in 2015

GMB's performance wil determine his fate. he has failed 2deliver progress. its a north-north, muslim-muslim derby

Buhari knows he is no match for Atiku because he helped him in no small measure in 2015.

Ok

Bubu is going back to Daura

Ok.


We're the judge. We decide who wins.

Using the masses weak point as their campaign strategy... I am just tired of this Nation.

My fear is what if Buhari loses and refuses to handover to Atiku?
