The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Senators Wednesday unanimously reminded the All Progressives Congress led government of Muhammadu Buhari to tackle unemployment and fulfil the N5000 promised unemployed Nigerians.
NewsWireNGR recalls that the APC led government during the campaign for the 2015 elections promised that as soon as Nigerians vote Buhari administration into office, the unemployed Nigerians will take home N5000 stipend each amongst other promises by the party.
Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu on Wednesday tacitly attacked president Muhammadu Buhari, over his campaign promises to Nigerians. “The ruling APC government must fulfill their campaign promise of paying unemployed Nigerians a sum of 5,000 Naira monthly,” he said.
Ekweramadu said that “construction industries in Nigeria are no longer working and this is an impending revolution in our hands.”
Senator Phillip Aduda raises an additional prayer that the Federal Govt should commence immediate payment of N5,000 to the unemployed.
