The Steadfast Pillars of Progress: Hon. Muhammad Yerima Bolori and Hon. Yusuf Sheriff Modu Banki

In the journey of building a strong and vibrant political movement, the place of committed leaders cannot be overstated. Within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) family in Borno State, two names stand tall as symbols of loyalty, sacrifice, and vision: Hon. Muhammad Yerima Bolori, the capacitated State Chairman of the party, and Hon. Yusuf Sheriff Modu Banki, a true pillar of dedication.

Their tireless efforts toward the growth, progress, and achievement of the ADC in Borno State will never go unnoticed. Both leaders have consistently shown what it means to serve with selflessness, integrity, and unshakable determination. Whether in the face of challenges or in moments of progress, they have stood firm like guardians of the party’s vision, ensuring that the ideals of inclusiveness, justice, and unity remain alive within the structure of the ADC.

Hon. Yerima Bolori, as State Chairman, has continued to display exceptional leadership qualities, providing guidance, strategy, and inspiration to the party faithful across the wards, local governments, and zones of Borno State. He has proven that leadership is not about titles but about responsibility, sacrifice, and results. His open-door policy and ability to mobilize members with fairness and wisdom have strengthened the confidence of the party at all levels.

Alongside him, Hon. Yusuf Sheriff Modu Banki has equally demonstrated unwavering loyalty and commitment. His energy, focus, and readiness to always stand with the party in both good times and testing moments have carved his name in the hearts of ADC members as a dependable leader. He continues to play a vital role in mobilization, coordination, and bridging the gap between the leadership and the grassroots.

The combined efforts of these two leaders are not only improving the present situation of the ADC in Borno State but are also laying a solid foundation for its future strength and victories. Their sacrifices and contributions serve as a source of encouragement to every member who believes in the promise of a stronger ADC and a better Nigeria.

Indeed, the story of ADC’s progress in Borno cannot be written without the names of Hon. Muhammad Yerima Bolori and Hon. Yusuf Sheriff Modu Banki boldly inscribed as torchbearers of resilience and vision. Their efforts will continue to inspire the party faithful, reminding everyone that true leadership is about service, dedication, and the courage to keep moving forward no matter the odds.

Sincerely
Abdul S D Buma

ADC Rejects Increase in Salaries of Political Salaries of Political Office Holders.
-Party Says Nigerians Need Pay-Rise, Not Politicians.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised strong objections to the proposed salary increases for Nigeria’s political office holders, describing the move as tone-deaf and an affront to the struggling Nigeria people.

The proposed review by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), would see the President, Vice President, governors, and other top officials receive substantial pay increases at a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with the effects of inflation, rising fuel costs, and an inadequate minimum wage.

In a statement by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, the party notes the constitutional mandate of the RMAFC to review salaries of political office holders, but considering such at this time further underlines how far this government is disconnected from the reality of Nigerian people.

The full statement read:

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) strongly condemns the plan by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) to increase the salaries of political office holders, including the President, Vice President, Senate President, governors, and other top officials.

We are aware of the Commission’s constitutional mandate to periodically review relevant emoluments of political office holders in the country. However, proposing such review at a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling with soaring food inflation, high cost of fuel, inadequate and largely unpaid minimum wage would indicate a total disregard for the people.

While the Chairman of RMAFC attempting to justify the proposed increases by describing the current pay structure of political office holders as "inadequate, unrealistic, and outdated," the ADC wishes to draw the public’s attention to the fact that these salaries are already supplemented with sundry bogus and opaque allowances, perks, and other discretionary funds, which together far exceed what ordinary Nigerians earn. How else are the political office holders able to support their lifestyle of luxury and opulence if indeed these “outdated” salaries means anything to them.

For perspective, our national minimum wage stands at N70,000 per month — a figure that has been largely eroded by the APC’s inflation, even where it has been paid. Yet, unlike public office holders, most Nigerians do not receive additional allowances or emoluments to cushion the effects of the rising costs of living. This is why, this proposed plan to increase the salaries of public office holders is not only tone-deaf, it is an all-out affront to the Nigerian people. It signals that the government is clearly disconnected from the struggles of ordinary citizens.

In light of these developments, the ADC demands that this absurd plan be suspended immediately. No such increase should be implemented while ordinary citizens are grappling with extreme financial hardship. Government should focus on improving the lives of the people rather than improving the salaries of the President and other political office holders who already live in obscene indulgence.

Government has no moral right to demand sacrifice from ordinary citizens while they focus on making lives easier for themselves. Political office holders cannot be insulated from economic hardships, while the everyday-Nigerian suffers.

As a party, we strongly believe that rather than further enriching political elites, all government policies at this time should prioritize raising the minimum wage to a living standard, ensuring timely and fair salaries for our civil servants, and strengthening our social welfare programs to reach the most vulnerable Nigerians.
