Atiku Reacts As President Tinubu Plans To Provide N8,000 Palliative Monthly To 12M Families

Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has defined plans with the aid of using the President Bola Tinubu management to provide N8,000 month-to-month palliative care to twelve million families, below the social protection internet program, as a way to divert public finances.

Atiku, in an announcement with the aid of his Special Assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, defined Tinubu’s plan to spend $800 million on the social protection internet program as opaque and a rip-off.

He stated: “After saying the elimination of petrol subsidies without proper planning, Tinubu has requested the approval of an $800 million mortgage, which he claims could be allotted to twelve million families for six months at N8,000 for every family consistent with the month. This is a continuation of the rip-off of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“According to statistics, a Nigerian family as of 2019 had a mean of 5.06 members. So, with Tinubu’s uninspiring plan, every man or woman in a family gets N1,600 consistent with the month or N53 consistent with the day. What have they done with it? Use the cash to shop for sachets of pure water or a cup of boiled groundnuts on a daily basis. And that is the person they declare to have converted the economic system of Lagos State? This ought to be a comic story or an extra-sinister attempt to divert public finances.

“Tinubu boasted that he would ‘broaden Nigeria’s economic system’ like that of Lagos; however, this became all a rip-off. Statistics display that over 70 percent of Lagos sales come from earnings tax paid with the aid of non-public organizations, which were in Lagos for many years because of its repute as Nigeria’s former capital.
