Your first 100 days in office is not worth celebrating- NNPP Chieftain shades Tinubu

September 6, 2023 Wale Ponnle

The first 100 days of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government, according to Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, a senior member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), is not worth celebrating.

He criticized Tinubu and governors who had just completed their first 100 days in office for failing to fulfill their campaign pledges. He made these claims in a statement that was made on Wednesday according to our sources.

Despite the increase in prices for all household goods, he said, workers are still receiving the minimum wage of N30,000 since the government has removed the subsidy on petroleum, popularly known as Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).

He claimed that the people who voted for the leaders with the aspirations of a better future were let down.

Speaking further, the NNPP leader bemoaned the fact that the palliatives announced as a result of the subsidy elimination are not reaching the intended population.

According to the NNPP chieftain, the money made from eliminating the subsidy should be channeled into infrastructure improvement, which would benefit all Nigerians, regardless of their financial situation.

“Your 100 days in office have had little impact on our citizens, thus they are not cause for celebration. The workers continue to receive the minimum pay of thirty thousand Naira (N30,000), notwithstanding the increase in the cost of all household goods brought on by the elimination of the subsidy.

“The palliatives are not reaching the oppressed; rather than using NIN, BVN attached to bank accounts to detect the poorest of the poor, they are just giving them out to politicians using wards and local government”.

“The federal government should have used the money made from subsidy withdrawal for infrastructure development, which will benefit every Nigerian regardless of their financial status, rather than providing palliatives to the states.

But when palliatives are offered, such as money or materials, they can never reach the intended audience and become nothing more than a new swindle. As they tried to translate political pledges into concrete acts, it became a race against time,” he said.
