\nThe Special Assistant on Public Communications to former Vice President,\u00a0 Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Phrank Shaibu has described President Bola Tinubu\u2019s national broadcast on Monday as an attempt to deceive organized labour into abandoning its planned nationwide protest over the hardship occasioned by the removal of petroleum subsidy.<\/p>\n

Describing the broadcast as an after thought “After removing petrol subsidy without a clear plan that would have ameliorated the sufferings of the people,” Shaibu added that the President should have apologized to Nigerians for the pains he has caused them in the past two months.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Monday, Shaibu said, \u201c The speech is deceptive and a complete waste of time. Tinubu\u2019s speech was hurriedly put together in order to dissuade the suffering masses and the organised labour from embarking on protests. Rather than apologise for removing subsidy without providing a cushion for the poor, he went about accusing subsidy thieves of being behind the current suffering. If he is sure of this, why hasn\u2019t he arrested them?<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu also lied when he claimed that he had for years been an advocate of subsidy removal. This was a man who in 2012 described petrol subsidy removal as ‘the Goodluck Jonathan tax,’ and sponsored protests in Lagos State. After he dubiously got to power, he lacked imagination on how to address the issue and then removed the subsidy but without a plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, “Tinubu\u2019s so-called plans to provide N50,000 grants to small businesses would be undermined by inflation, exchange rate problems and corruption.”
\nHe continued,\u00a0 \u201cTinubu says he will provide N50,000 (about $60) to 1, 300 nano businesses. This is reminiscent of the dubious trader moni and the monthly N20,000 spent on the public works programme of the last APC government which not only failed to stimulate the economy but also worsened poverty as funds went into private pockets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat mechanism is in place to ensure that poor Nigerians access this? The answer is none. This is nothing but deception as we shall all see in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also faulted the President’s plan to give 500,000 hectares of land to farmers in order to boost agriculture even when the insecurity in Benue State has failed to reduce.<\/p>\n

“The Land Use Act puts lands under the purview of the governors. His so-called plan to provide 500,000 hectares is just part of the deception and a continuation of Buhari\u2019s failed promises. Besides, just on Saturday, farmers were killed and others kidnapped in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State. Till now, there has not been a word from the Presidential Villa.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the communities being attacked are agrarian communities which rely on farming. What sort of plan can you implement in the agric sector without first tackling insecurity?\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaibu further berated the President for promising that the minimum wage would soon be reviewed upwards as evidence that Tinubu failed to properly plan for the removal of petrol subsidy.<\/p>\n

\u201cShouldn\u2019t the discussion on the increase of minimum wage have been done prior to subsidy removal? This is the height of cluelessness, putting the cart before the horse,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
