A chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), Kenneth Okonkwo has described the government of President Bola Tinubu as anti-people.
Okonkwo made the declaration in a post via his Twitter account on Monday in which he accused the current government of insensitivity due to its arbitrary increase in the price of petrol, depreciating the value of the naira and borrowings within its first few days in office.
The Labour Party chieftain also accused the government of plans to syphon public funds through its fuel subsidy removal palliative to vulnerable Nigerians.
According to him, the present government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is clueless and should be rejected by Nigerians.
He wrote: “A government that commenced its regime with N352 increase in fuel per litre, depreciated naira by 82% from first day in office, borrowed $800m (N650b) to share N35b to Judiciary, N70b to the Legislature, then N48,000.00 for a family of about 6 persons for 6 months, arresting and detaining Nigerians without trial is a government that is anti people.
“Giving a Nigerian household a paltry sum of N8,000 a month that cannot afford a plate of food for a Nigerian is not only an insult to common sense but a formula to steal government fund in the name of poor Nigerians. What can a Nigerian do with N8,000 per month, much less a household of about 6 persons per month.
“This government is a waste and a scourge. Now we are seeing the true definition of cluelessness. Soon, APC members, South West indigenes and Muslims will be in the forefront to reject this government because poverty, suffering and injustice are blind to party, ethnic or religious inclinations and colourations.
“Don’t forget the lopsided, nepotistic appointments so far made. I can hardly recognise Nigeria. May God help us.”
