Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has described the N5,000 the federal government said it had started paying to the poor in Nigeria as a mere propaganda.

He said: “A blind man will say it is when it gets into my mouth that I will say you are feeding me, not promises.”
The governor, in a statement on Tuesday in Ado-Ekiti by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, said there was no evidence of the payment in his state, which was one of the states the federal government claimed the exercise had started.

He said apparently, the states they claimed had started receiving the payment were APC-controlled states, knowing that the governors cannot come out to disprove the payment.

He said the All Progressives Congress (APC) government led by President Muhammadu Buhari should come to the reality that Nigerians were hungry and also angry and that they were no longer interested in empty promises.

He also explained that the people had realized that the APC government only operated by deceit and that Nigerians were running out of patience.

Fayose challenged them to publish the number of people receiving it and their accounts

He insisted that the economic policy of the federal government ahead of the 2019 elections was on how to entrench themselves in power and not on the welfare of Nigerians.
He condemned the N2Bn to be spent on entertainment alone in the Villa in the 2017 budget.

While calling on the federal government to put a proper economic team, beyond party line in place to salvage the economy of Nigeria, which he said was already on the floor as many businesses had been closed down.

He appealed to the President not to allow Nigerians die before the so-called benefit and ‘change’ comes to bear on them.

He explained that the “federal government’s N5,000 payment to the poor was designed in a way that the state governors are also involved because they are to clear and present prospective beneficiaries before payments are made.”

It will be recalled that the federal government in a statement on Monday had said: “Funds for the commencement of the payments in four states were released last week to the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) – the platform that hosts and validates payments for all government’s social intervention programmes. Funds for another set of five states to complete the first batch of nine states would follow soon.

“Though the sequence for the payment of the money would be operationally managed by NIBSS, beneficiaries in Borno, Kwara and Bauchi States have started receiving the money. The other states in the first batch to commence the CCT payments are Cross Rivers, Niger, Kogi, Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti States.”

wite111:
Here is what they won't tell Nigerians about the FG N5, 000/month stipend to the poorest and most vulnerable in the country through the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) of its Social Investment Programmes (SIP).

1. It is N5,000 per household, not N5,000 per person.

2. Meaning that if a household is TEN persons, it will be N500/person.

3. World Bank is contributing about $500m (about N25bn) to the scheme.

4. FG is constributing N5bn.

Now you have been told and it is left to you to allow yourself to be deceived.

You said more than this when N-power came up! So, u want to be involved so that you fill the list with ur supporters there u failed! U re not part of the federal govt who made the pledge during campaign so rest ok. U believe it's not real cause U were not involved, if that is the case keep your believe to ur chest. So Cross River and ur state is also APC states? With the help of CCT capture there's no way the receivers would tell u of the stipends. It's not the same way u share rice, cut kpomo, ride bike and go to birthday parties to show off!

But as of the federal govt to publish the names of the poor who have received the 5k
I support u on that! Publishing their acc numbers NO!

So, shut the fuçk and pay workers salaries for months which is the primary thing for a gov/president! Ekiti is not yearning for infrastructures any more just pay salaries!

.

Everything by the FG to you is fake.

All I know it's an avenue to loot huge amount of money.

Fayose is saying the truth here. I have not seen anybody that collected the said #5000 in my state and my state was mentioned among d state they said they paid.

there was no evidence of the payment in his state, which was one of the states the federal government claimed the exercise had started.



He said apparently, the states they claimed had started receiving the payment were APC-controlled states, knowing that the governors cannot come out to disprove the payment.

He also explained that the people had realized that the APC government only operated by deceit and that Nigerians were running out of patience.

Fayose challenged them to publish the number of people receiving it and their accounts

I stand with Fayose anyday anytime against this Buhari Government of Propaganda

The only man in the South West that is not a slave....to the north

Truly its fake & avenue to loot!
Only the senseless APC ZOMBIES will defend this scam!

fake govt

African countries are good at one thing - leaving the reality and pursuing shadow. The economic status of the country is horrible, what is important is fixing the economy. Give a person fish to eat, he will finish it and be hungry. Give a bag of fish to eat, he will finish it and be hungry again. Teach him how to fish, he will eat fish all the days of his life.

If you know anybody who have received the said stipend, please indicate or remain silent.

Why do African governments like hit and run system? If the government says it is giving people who are unemployed five thousand naira, who are those people? How many people are unemployed in Nigeria? Do we have statistics? Do you mean in a state you have to give to all who are unemployed? Do you give to some? What is the yardstick to choose those who will be given?

We keep on going from one mistake to another because we are afraid of our own shadow. We are afraid to follow the right way. We are afraid to do it right beacuse we may lose what we are gaining. For how long are we going to decieve the people? Why must Nigerians be suffering for nothing? Why must the government be misleading people in everything just for personal interests of those in government?

This country belongs to Nigerians and not to those who are in government!!! Nigerians should defend what is theirs and not feel that they are visitors.

So he didn't learn from his disgraceful antics of 2016? This is fake to him just like Aisha Buhari's US trip? He needs to stop playing politics and govern his domain. Last I checked Ekiti was far from perfect.
