A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Garus Gololo, has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to be careful not to make the same mistake made by his predecessor on the issue of palliative sharing to the masses.
He said palliative, is a good thing but suggested that the money should be used to create jobs through the refurbishing of the Nigerian refineries or put up other industries to help employ the youths and school leavers.
Speaking in an interview with journalists, he said the money should be put into inter city/ metro rail lines to help workers and the masses on transportation.
He said, “For instance, we used to have mass transportation system in the FCT during the administration of Mallam El-rufai but immediately he left office the vehicles are packed due to mismanagement.
” I see no help and poverty alleviation in N8,000, monthly more especially when we do not have the demographic means of determining beneficiaries.
“The money to me is nothing. Why not increase and make sure that 100.000. minimum wage of workers are paid and steady for at least four years by such he could have affected lives positively”
He also expressed displeasure over the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Hassan Kukah Kukah’s dispositions on political issues and day to day governance in Nigeria.
He said the duo of former President Abdulsami Abubakar and the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Hassan Kukah, each election year champion the signing of peace accord among political parties, targeted at having peaceful pre-election, during and after elections.
According to the former member of APC Board of Director, Bishop Kukah, has failed to adopt and maintain this peaceful atmosphere they preach in Nigeria by this act of meddlesomeness recorded on the daily bases.
Dr Gololo, alleged that “Bishop Kukah, has abandoned his calling of keeping the flocks to being a full time politician. Iam convinced that he is already making arrangements to pick forms to contest for one political positions come 2027. If not, why should a clergy man seen to be a peace maker get deeply involved in day to day governance wit divisive utterances in the country”.
The retired service man, expressing shock at Kukah’s recent attack on the rulling party and the former President Mohammadu Buhari, while attending a function at Afe Babalola University in Ekiti State, where he described the Buhari administration as the most corrupt since Nigeria’s return to Democracy, noted that such utterance is inciteful and capable of dividing the country the more.
” Peace is what we need now. And we need to move ahead to the next level and now that we have new Leadership, we should be able to also instill the belief in all the youths. The days of Buhari administration is gone. Whom ever was part of it should be forgotten and let Nigerians forge ahead”. He said.
