Speaking on the AIT network, Chuks Akunna said: “Poor Nigerians are not banked, they don’t have bank accounts, so how do you intend to give these people? From reports last year, about thirty, forty million Nigerians are not banked. And it’s very difficult for someone who has money and doesn’t have a bank account. Those who don’t have bank accounts are those in the rural areas. So how do intend to send them this money, if this is the case that you’re sincere about transferring this money to them.

He stated further: “And the issue is who accounts for this ₦8,000 money? This is why Atiku is accusing the President [Bola Ahmed Tinubu] of planning to steal money. Like I said, where are those bank details, they are not banked”.
