Human rights activist, Saviour Imeabe Oscar, has called out President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the government’s recent claim that Nigerians have been receiving ₦25,000 palliative payments.
Oscar questioned the authenticity of the government’s statement, asserting that no such payments have reached ordinary Nigerians.
President Tinubu, during his recent national broadcast, announced that the Federal Government had begun disbursing ₦25,000 to citizens as part of its social intervention initiative aimed at cushioning the effects of the current economic hardship.
However, Saviour Imeabe Oscar disputed this claim, describing it as misleading and disconnected from the realities faced by millions across the country.
In a video shared by Symfoni TV 11:22, he stated, “Mr. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his broadcast said Nigerians have been paid 25,000. Mr. President, if you can see this video, if you can see me, Mr. President, I want to tell you that no Nigerians are receiving 25,000. Nobody has been paid. I am not being paid. No Nigerians have been paid in the Niger Delta. How many person have been paid in the southeast? How many person have been paid in the west? How many person have been paid in the entire southern region? How many person have been paid in the entire country? How many person have been paid 25,000?”
Oscar urged the federal government to ensure transparency and accountability in the disbursement of palliatives, emphasizing that citizens deserve proof of such welfare initiatives. See, More, Here>>>
