South Korean President Yoon Arrested Over Insurrection Charges

South Korean authorities have made history by arresting impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of insurrection, marking the first time an incumbent leader has been detained in the country.
Yoon, who has been embroiled in controversy following his suspension after declaring martial law on December 3, claimed he reluctantly agreed to comply with what he called an unlawful investigation to avoid violence.
The arrest came after a dramatic standoff, with more than 3,000 police officers converging on Yoon’s hillside residence early on Wednesday to carry out the arrest.
Despite his earlier defiance, which included a personal security team blocking a previous attempt, Yoon chose to surrender to the authorities, stating that his decision was made to prevent bloodshed.
“I decided to cooperate with the CIO’s investigation, even though it is illegal, to avoid unnecessary violence,” Yoon said, referring to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials, the body leading the probe.

Peter Obi Says Politicians Do Not Deserve Pay Rise While Nigerians Struggle

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has strongly criticized the plan to raise salaries for politicians in Nigeria. The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is reportedly pushing for a pay increase for political leaders, but Obi questioned both the timing and the reasoning behind it.
In a statement on his official X handle, the former Anambra governor described the move as insensitive and greedy, especially at a time when ordinary Nigerians are facing worsening economic conditions. He called it a shameless attempt by leaders to enrich themselves while the majority continues to struggle.
Obi argued that political office should be about service, not personal gain. He said the RMAFC’s decision to focus on rewarding politicians instead of addressing the needs of neglected public workers, particularly underpaid and overworked police officers, was provocative and scandalous.

Nigerians Reject Proposed Pay Rise for Tinuby and Other Political Leaders

Nigerians have voiced strong opposition to plans that would raise the salaries of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and other top officials, sparking widespread debate across the country.
The proposed increase, under review by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), comes as many citizens face economic challenges, including high inflation and rising living costs. RMAFC Chairman Mohammed Shehu argued that the current salaries, unchanged since 2008, do not reflect the growing responsibilities of these political offices. He noted that the President earns ₦1.5 million monthly while ministers make less than ₦1 million, calling these figures “insufficient” given the scope of their duties.
Despite this justification, the move has drawn sharp criticism from the public. Many Nigerians see the proposal as insensitive, highlighting the struggles of ordinary citizens who contend with low wages and difficult living conditions. Labor unions, including the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), have described the pay hike as unfair and mistimed, insisting that government attention should prioritize the welfare of the general population rather than increasing the earnings of leaders already in power.
The debate continues as RMAFC evaluates the salary structure. While some argue that political leaders deserve higher pay for their roles, the prevailing sentiment is that any increase should be postponed until the economic situation improves and the needs of everyday Nigerians are addressed.
