Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Senator Babajide Omoworare, has faulted the call by some People’s Democratic Party, PDP, senate caucus on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately implement the N5,000 stipends for unemployed in the country.
Omoworare noted that the president needs a budgetary allocation to be able to meet up with some of his campaign promises.
This was contained in a statement by Omoworare’s media aide, Mr. Tunde Dairo, on Monday.
The statement said, “The call by the PDP for an immediate implementation of the N5,000 unemployment palliative by the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government is a call to impunity.
“It is a call to executive recklessness, misappropriation of funds and bad governance. The motion calling for the “immediate implementation” of the N5,000 unemployment benefit was done in bad faith.
DAILY POST recalls that a PDP senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, Philip Aduda, had last week raised a prayer calling on the Buhari-led Federal Government to fulfill one of its campaign promises of paying N5,000 to unemployed youths monthly nationwide.
Aduda stated that the prayer was raised so as to help reduce the economic hardship the unemployed in the country are experiencing.
