A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti
State, Chief Bamitale Oguntoyinbo has faulted President Bola Tinubu over the
disbursement of ₦5bn as palliatives to reach the 36 states of the federation.
Oguntoyinbo, who is also the Obalodo-designate in Oye
Kingdom, Ekiti State, said the disbursement process will not be in the best
interest of Nigerians as some unscrupulous government officials will divert and
expend a larger percentage of the fund on personal frivolities.
While hailing the President for the removal of fuel subsidy,
he noted that the palliatives are temporary measures, adding that it will not
go down the ladder to the “poorest of the poor” who should be the real
beneficiaries of the package.
The APC leader said the fund should rather be diverted to revive local refineries which will bring an end to the current unbearable hike in the price of premium motor spirit (PMS).
He said, “Tinubu made the right decision by removing the
subsidy. He must be commended for removing it in his first day and for taking
the bull by the horns.
“The means of disbursement of the palliatives is not in the
best interest of Nigerians.
“When they said 5bn will be disbursed to each state, there’s
no way our leaders will not steal the money. The greatest part of the fund will
go to the purses of those people in government.
“Tinubu should be able to think how to revive refineries. If
they are brought on ground, Nigerians will benefit from it because Nigerians
are suffering.”
Speaking on possible cabals in the administration of Tinubu,
he charged the President to get rid of the vicious individuals as their actions
and plans will only sabotage his efforts in making Nigeria great.
“These cabals will not allow Tinubu to function because they
operate silently like they did to Buhari. They make more money by giving him
wrong advises.
“He must monitor them, put them on surveillance and get rid
of them in his administration.”
While commending Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji for his
giant strides since assuming office, Oguntoyinbo tasked him to contrive ways of
establishing industries in the state that will stand the test of time.
This, according to him will bring development to Ekiti and
immortalize his legacy after he leave as Governor of the state.
“BAO has been trying by establishing good relationship with
the people, making himself accessible to the people.
“I must commend him for reaching out to investors to invest
in Ekiti but he should begin to think on how to put an industry in place for
the development of the state.” He said.
