The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has lambasted President Bola Tinubu over the N70,000 transport allowance for staff.
An announcement by his senior media aide, Phrank Shuaibu, on Wednesday, mentioned N70,000 can only buy 50 litres of gas in at present’s Nigeria, describing Tinubu’s reduction package deal as an insult to staff.
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 staff.
“How can a authorities that eliminated gas subsidy and pushed petrol worth to over N1,000 per litre be telling staff 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 staff are going by way of hell beneath 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 odd Nigerians whereas authorities officers proceed to reside in luxurious.
Atiku referred to as on the Federal Government to instantly provide you with a dwelling wage that displays present financial realities, not tokenism.
