President Tinubu’s Palliative Is Fraud; We Must Not Allow It – Edo Governor, Obaseki Backs Nationwide ProtestsThe governor while addressing the aggrieved workers in the state on Wednesday, said “In Edo state, we are labour friendly. We must stop this palliative fraud of the federal government. I want to call on the labour.
Governor Obaseki who made the call on Wednesday threw his full support to the labour unions’ nationwide protests against the Nigerian government over fuel subsidy removal, fuel price hike, school fees hike and other anti-poor policies by the government, while describing the proposed palliative as “fraud.”
“Let them give the local government the money to give to the people because the Federal Government has no business buying grains, giving contracts to buy palliatives for people across the 774 local governments in Nigeria. We must stop this fraud.”
