President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Femi Adesina, has claimed that his principal and vice president Yemi
Osinbajo, have been receiving half of their salaries before the outbreak of
coronavirus.
Adesina stated this during an interview on Politics Today
which aired on Channels Television.
According to him, both Buhari and Osinbajo have been getting
half of their salaries since they came into power in 2015.
When asked if both will be donating their salaries just like
the members of the Senate and House of Representatives chambers of the National
Assembly, Adesina said: “I can’t say for sure; the members of the federal
cabinet are donating 50 per cent of their March salaries.
“Right from the beginning of the administration (the first
term), they had elected to earn half of the salaries they should earn.
“To ask them to do more will be a voluntary thing,” he said.
The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, announced that members of the House will be
donating their two months pay to fight COVID-19.
