Former Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Right Hon. Ghali Umar Na’abba, has commended President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for his plans to distribute palliatives to Nigerians with the aim of reducing the hardship caused by the removal of fuel subsidies.
Ghali Na’abba, who is the grand patron of the Coalition of Arewa Youths and Elders group, applauded President Tinubu’s efforts to distribute eight thousand naira to over twelve million people across the country.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Grand Patron of the Coalition of Arewa Youths and Elders, Hon. Ghali Umar Na’abba, and the Convener, Musa Mujahid Zaitawa, and made available to the press.
According to them, there is a need for President Tinubu to ensure transparency and accountability in the distribution of the palliatives so that they can reach the masses at the grassroots who are largely affected by the removal of fuel subsidies.
“We advise President Tinubu to distribute the palliatives according to the population, so that the highly populated regions receive a larger percentage.”
“We wish to draw President Tinubu’s attention to the tuition fee increment by federal universities in the current situation where the majority of Nigerians are struggling to find enough to eat. Indeed, these universities are sabotaging Tinubu and his government. Therefore, he should not take this for granted.”
The Coalition of Arewa Youths and Elders reassured their total support for the APC and Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government, promising to work assiduously with all APC stakeholders to ensure the success of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.
