A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has said the first 100 days of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration are not worthy of celebration.
He condemned Tinubu and governors who just clocked their first 100 days in office over their failure to kick start their campaign promises on a good note.
DAILY POST reports that Tinubu was inaugurated as President on 29th May 2023.
He made these declarations via a statement made available to DAILY POST on Wednesday.
He added that it is regrettable that workers are still collecting N30,000 minimum wage despite the increment on all household items due to the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petroleum.
He said the citizens who voted for the leaders with hopes of a brighter future have been disappointed.
The NNPP chieftain, while speaking, further lamented that palliatives announced as a result of the subsidy removal are not getting to the targeted people.
He suggested that the money realised from the removal of subsidy should be channelled into infrastructural development, which will benefit every Nigerian irrespective of financial status.
“Your 100 days in office are not worth celebrating because they lack impact on our citizens. The workers are still collecting thirty thousand naira (N30,000) minimum wage despite the increment on all household items caused by the subsidy removal.
“The palliatives are not getting to the downtrodden; instead of using NIN, BVN attached to bank accounts to detect the poorer of the poor, they are just giving them out to politicians using wards and local government.
“Instead of giving palliatives to states by the federal government, the money realised from subsidy removal should have been channelling into infrastructural development, which will be beneficial to every Nigerian irrespective of financial status.
“But given palliatives either in terms of cash or materials, it can never gets to the target audience but a kind of another scam. it became a race against time as they endeavoured to turn election promises into tangible actions,” he said.
