Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has described the N5,000 the federal government said it had started paying to the poor in Nigeria as a mere propaganda and advised them to stop running government and governance on propaganda.
He said, “A blind man will say it is when it gets into my mouth that I will say you are feeding me, not promises.”
The governor, in a statement on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, said that there was no evidence of the payment in his state which is one of the states the federal government claimed the exercise had started.
He said apparently, the states they claimed have started receiving the payment are APC-controlled states knowing fully that the governors cannot come out to disprove the payment.
He said the the All Progressives Congress (APC) government led by President Muhammadu Buhari should come to the reality that Nigerians are hungry and also angry and that Nigerians are no longer interested in empty promises.
He also explained that the people have realised that the APC government only operates by deceit and that Nigerians are running out of patience.
Fayose challenged them to publish the number of people who have received it.
He insisted that the economic policy of the federal government ahead of the 2019 elections is on how to entrench themselves in power and not on the welfare of Nigerians.
He condemned the N2billion to be spent on entertainment alone in the Villa in the 2017 budget.
While calling on the federal government to put a proper economic team beyond party line, he said the economy is already on the floor as many businesses have been closed down.
He appealed to the President not allow Nigerians to die before the so called benefit and ‘change’ comes to bear on them.
