Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has said the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not start on a good note.

During an ARISE TV interview, the politician gave his take on the N8,000 palliative the government is planning to share to poor Nigerians to cushion the effects of subsidy removal.

He likened the president’s policy on subsidy removal to taking two steps forward and 10 steps backwards.

He said, “I don’t know how to understand a president who wanted the position all his life can afford to act in the manner that suggests he doesn’t have the sense of urgency towards solving problems.”
