Nigerians react over announcement by PBAT to donate his 28 months salaries to New Armed Forces Welfare Fund

 




By allcitynews.blog

Following his public announcement to donate his 28 months salaries to the New Armed Forces  Welfare Fund, many Nigerians have started reacting, they are  demanding to know if he has not been collecting his salaries in the past 48 months "or is  he going to return his already collected money into the pulse as welfare?" They asked.

How could this be, does it mean he's not been collecting his salaries as at when due for the last past 28 months or there about? Or is he going to refund the salaries he's collected so far?"

Another concerned person said, "This ambiguity is what makes Tinubu to believe that he is smart."

It would be recalled that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his  74th birthday announced his readiness to donate  his all His Salaries since assuming office to New Armed Forces Welfare Fund.

From a report, PBAT on the occasion of his 74th birthday, President announced the creation of a dedicated welfare fund to support Nigeria’s Armed Forces, honouring their service, sacrifices, and the families they leave behind.

In a personal statement, the President and Commander-in-Chief had declared:

“On this my 74th birthday, I celebrate the valiant men and women of our Armed Forces.”

He directed the Accountant-General of the Federation to immediately establish a special account for the fund, which will cater to:

- Serving personnel
- Those wounded in the line of duty
- Families of fallen heroes (widows, widowers, and children)

As a personal commitment, President Tinubu revealed that all his salaries since assuming office will be paid into this account as seed funding. This is in addition to existing insurance and welfare schemes.

The fund will provide direct support to personnel who have lost limbs and to the dependents of those who paid the ultimate price in service to the nation.

The President called for broad national support:

“I call on our Governors, members of the National Assembly, the private sector, my friends and all well-wishers to support this initiative. Details of the account will be made available in due course.”

He emphasised the moral obligation behind the move:

“We must never forget those who stand in harm’s way for our peace, nor the sacrifices borne by their families. This is not charity. It is duty.  And we will fulfil it.”

Further details on the special account and how to contribute are expected to be released soon by the relevant authorities.
