Tinubu Asks Nigerians to Hold Governors Accountable For Palliatives Received
President Tinubu has pleaded with the State Governors, to ensure transparency and accountability in the distribution and management of the Federal Government’s palliatives, allocated to reduce the pains of petrol subsidy removal.
He promised to continue talking to the governors, but asks Nigerians who reside in the states, to hold the governors accountable in the management of the items.
Tinubu spoke on the issue on Thursday, while receiving a delegation of Islamic leaders deployed by the ECOWAS to Niger republic, to further explore dialogue with the Junta.
The President explained that since the potential beneficiaries are residing in Nigeria’s 36 states, he would have to reach them with the palliatives, through their respective state governments and local governments.

According to Tinubu, in a constitutional democracy, it is unheard of that a president sitting in Abuja, would be issuing orders to the governors in their states.
Tinubu, said he could only appeal to the Governors, while it is left to the people in the states to vote out those who shortchanged them in the future polls.
Federal Government in the palliatives rolled out, handed out N5 billion cash and truck loads of grains to each of the 36 state governments and federal capital territory.
