SUBSIDY REMOVAL: N5 Billion Palliative Is Renewed Nonsense – Atiku’s Aide, Bwala Gives Reasons
An aide to Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Daniel Bwala, has described the President Bola Tinubu administration’s N5 billion palliative as renewed nonsense.
Bwala made the remark while noting that the organized labour demystified the N5billion palliative to State governments.
He noted that the calculation by the organized labour showed that each person would get N1,500 from the palliative.
Tweeting, Bwala wrote: “The organised labour has demystified the so-called 5 billion naira FGN gave to States; first the FGN said it was a palliative and they are now saying it is a loan.
“Organized labour further did their arithmetical calculations and arrived at a shameful conclusion that the so-called 5billion naira comes down to N1,500 per person.
“How much is the cost of food items in the market? Renewed nonsense.”
The Federal Government had announced plans to release N5 billion as palliative to cushion the effect of subsidy removal.
