Sahara Reporters publisher and presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) in the last general election, Omoyele Sowore has described President Bola Tinubu’s administration as “Renewed Shege”, dismissing the federal government’s $10 palliative initiative as being too meagre to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians.
The two-term governor of Lagos State rode to power on the “Renewed Hope” mantra. However, his critics have said his government has brought “Renewed Shege” on Nigerians. Shege is a Hausa word loosely interpreted as suffering or pain.
“The govt of #RenewedShege! So, @officialABAT is going to provide palliative of N53 per day for 6 months? Jokes carried too far! These guys don’t rate Nigerians!,” Mr Sowore tweeted on Thursday.
Mr Sowore’s statement followed the announcement of $10 (N8,000) monthly stipends for six months as palliative for 12 million households to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal.
This development has sparked widespread criticism as Nigerians berated Mr Tinubu for offering meagre palliatives over the removal that has caused grave hardship.
Mr Tinubu assumed office on May 29, announcing the immediate removal of the fuel subsidy, which saw the petrol pump price skyrocket to N540 from N195.
