Tinubu's Palliative Controversy: Calls for Transparency and Investment in Infrastructure
Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential candidate, has criticized President Bola Tinubu's plan to provide N8,000 as a palliative to 12 million households, stating that it is insufficient to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal. Obi emphasized that almost every family in Nigeria is feeling the impact of the subsidy removal and that the relief plan should be extended to include teachers and other poorly paid individuals. He encouraged Nigerians to enroll for the N8,000 relief plan, highlighting the country's high poverty level.
