The federal government
announced that it has started disbursing the N5000 stipend which was promised
to poor Nigerians by President Buhari.
Governor Ayodele Fayose has
challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to publish the names of those who have received
the N5000 stipend the federal government claimed it has paid.
One million most vulnerable
Nigerians will be rewarded with a N5,000 monthly stipend through the
Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) of its Social Investment Programmes (SIP).
He said the ruling party
“should come to the reality that Nigerians are hungry and also angry and that
Nigerians are no longer interested in empty promises.”
Fayose accused the APC of
focusing on 2019 rather than making the country better and said the project was
a World Bank own with payment made since 2016.
The governor said he was
already paying poor people N10000 in Ekiti without delay.
“Federal government’s
N5,000 payment to the poor was designed in a way that the state governors are
also involved because they are to clear and present prospective beneficiaries
before payments are made.”
