The ₦8,000 palliative promised by the President Bola Tinubu’s administration is still whipping up reactions.
While Shehu Sani advised Nigerians to pray before collecting the money, Eedris Abdulkareem believes the whole palliative thing is a scam.
Eadris’s claim is one that should not be ignored, this is because, according to him, that is not what Nigerians need at this time.
The veteran singer said this while reacting to Tinubu’s decision to pay the sum of ₦8,000 to 12 million Nigerian families for six months.
To the government, this will help to cushion the effects of petrol subsidy removal.
Letter To The House
Tinubu in a letter to the House of Representatives unveiled plans to transfer ₦8,000 to 12 million poor households in Nigeria.
He said the money would be sent to poor Nigerians within the next six months.
The president’s plan was connected the 800 million dollars loan requests of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for the social safety net programme.
He urged the House of Representatives to approve the loan.
The Scam
Reacting to the development, Eedris Abdulkareem via his Instagram page described the palliative plan as a scam.
According to the him, Nigerians do not need handouts, rather they need productivity that will lead to prosperity.

It is not the first time Eadris is criticising the government and people in leadership in Nigeria.

A few months ago, he lashed out on the former Minister of State for Labour and productivity, Festus Keyamo.
