Buhari made me to take half my salary, says Osinbajo

Vice-President has said the decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to take only half of his salary was what made him (the Vice-President) to do same.

He said he also failed in his attempt to convince Buhari to donate the half salary he rejected to him (Osinbajo).

Osinbajo said this at the public presentation of a book, “Making Steady, Sustainable Progress for Nigeria’s Peace and Prosperity” at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He spoke about the President’s frugality, saying he does not believe in amassing wealth to the detriment of those he is leading.

While describing corruption as Nigeria’s major problem, he added that the menace was the main reason for the depletion of the nation’s resources, such that the country had no savings when oil prices fell.
