SUBSIDY PALLIATIVES: VOTE OUT UNDERPERFORMING GOVERNORS – PRES. TINUBU URGES NIGERIANS
President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to vote out governors who are not performing up to expectation.
The President made the appeal Thursday, August 24, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja while responding to the
request of some Islamic scholars that the Federal Government should pay more attention to the distribution of palliatives given to states to cushion the effects of removal of fuel subsidy.
He noted that his position as president does not guarantee his availability at every situation which is why governors are appointed and should be held accountable by the citizens.
According to him,
“The people reside in the states. Even if
I set up a panel, I will have to go through the governors and
the local governments. We will continue to talk to the
governors. Nigerians must hold them accountable.
It’s unheard of that in a constitutional democracy; a
president will sit here and give orders to states. I can only
appeal to them to implement.”
He further stated that the citizens bear loss if a governor is not responsible saying that they hold the power to vote a governor out of his position if he fails to carry out his official duties .
“The people reside in the
states, and if the governor is not doing well, the people
must vote them out.”
Recall that the Federal Government made provision for
palliatives worth N5 billion for each state to cushion the
effect of subsidy removal.
