Gov Chukwuma Soludo on Wednesday said govs and other elected officials should earn minimum wage to reflect the current reality of Nigeria.
He said that contrary to the flamboyant lifestyles portrayed by govs and elected officials, the country was facing a dire financial crisis.
Soludo urged his colleagues and other elected officials to cut wasteful spending.
“Let’s come clean & straight with Nigerians. Nigeria is very poor and broke, but the lifestyle of govt & govt officials does not show it, especially with the obscene flamboyance in public display,”
“In this case, I agree with reverend father Mbaka, who said elected governors should also earn minimum wage. I agree that we should be paid that so that we can feel that as well, ” he said.
