Nigerian actor cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has taken a swipe at the Tinubu-led Federal government over the N8,000 palliatives to cushion the hardship experienced as a result of fuel subsidy removal.
The Labour Party, LP, member who described it as a paltry sum, stated that is an insult to common sense and means to steal government funds in the name of poor Nigerians.In a post via his Twitter handle on Monday, Okonkwo also alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, government is arresting and detaining Nigerians without trial, saying it is anti-people.Recall that the Federal Government had announced a plan to pay N8,000 monthly to 12 million poor Nigerians as palliatives to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal.However, the actor claimed that the amount would not be sufficient for poor Nigerians who could barely afford a plate of food.He wrote, “A government that commenced its regime with N352 increase in fuel per litre, depreciated naira by 82% from the first day in office, borrowed $800m (N650b) to share N35b to Judiciary, N70b to the Legislature, then N48,000.00 for a family of about six persons for six months, arresting and detaining Nigerians without trial is a government that is anti-people.“Giving a Nigerian household a paltry sum of N8,000 a month that cannot afford a plate of food for a Nigerian is not only an insult to common sense but a formula to steal government fund in the name of poor Nigerians. What can a Nigerian do with N8,000 per month, much less a household of about 6 persons per month. This government is a waste and a scourge. Now we are seeing the true definition of cluelessness.”
