President Bola Tinubu has not approved salary review for elected politicians and judicial officers, his media aide, Dele Alake has said. 

In a statement on Thursday, Alake, the President’s Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communications, and Strategy, called reports (not by Newsclick Nigeria) that the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation, and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) approved a 114% increase in the salaries of the President, Vice President, elected Federal and state political office holders, and judicial officers “misinformation.”

“We state without any equivocation that President Bola Tinubu has not approved any salary increase, and no such proposal has been brought before him for consideration,” Alake said.
