The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has lambasted President Bola Tinubu over the N70,000 transport allowance for employees.
An announcement by his senior media aide, Phrank Shuaibu, on Wednesday, mentioned N70,000 can only buy 50 litres of gas in at this time’s Nigeria, describing Tinubu’s reduction package deal as an insult to employees.
According to Atiku, it’s depraved and insensitive for the Tinubu authorities to be celebrating N70,000 as reduction when inflation has destroyed the buying energy of employees.
“How can a authorities that eliminated gas subsidy and pushed petrol value to over N1,000 per litre be telling employees that N70,000 is reduction? N70,000 can’t even buy 50 litres of gas. This shouldn’t be reduction, that is mockery,” Atiku mentioned.
The former Vice President added that Nigerian employees are going by way of hell underneath Tinubu’s administration, with meals costs skyrocketing, transport prices insufferable and salaries nugatory.
He insisted that Tinubu’s financial reforms have only introduced ache, starvation and hardship to bizarre Nigerians whereas authorities officers proceed to stay in luxurious.
Atiku known as on the Federal Government to right away give you a residing wage that displays present financial realities, not tokenism.
