This is the message;

“Effective immediately, I am announcing a 50% reduction in my salary and all other emoluments. I call upon the Vice President, Senate President, and all other top government officials to follow suit. We who have been entrusted with leadership must be the first to make sacrifices for the good of our nation. In the spirit of fiscal responsibility, I am also announcing the following measures: The Office of the First Lady will be scrapped to reduce unnecessary expenditures”.

Responding to the broadcast message, Bayo Onanuga said it is not true. He said it is the handiwork of mischief makers who are bent on sowing chaos and confusion in the country.
