“Insensitive and Unjust” — Falana Slams Proposed Pay Rise for Politicians Amid Widespread Poverty
Renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has criticized the proposed salary increase for political office holders, describing it as “highly insensitive” given Nigeria’s harsh economic climate.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, Falana argued that the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) failed to consider the plight of ordinary Nigerians, especially with over 133 million citizens living in multidimensional poverty, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
“It is insensitive for any government agency, particularly the RMAFC, to suggest an upward review of politicians’ emoluments when the majority of our people are suffering,” Falana stressed.
His remarks come amid growing public outcry over the government’s handling of economic hardship, fuel subsidy removal, and widening inequality.
