Subsidy Palliatives: Vote out underperforming governors — Pres. Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to vote out governors who are not performing up to expectation.
The President made the appeal Thursday, August 24, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja while responding to the request of some Islamic scholars that the Federal Government should monitor the distribution of palliatives given to states to cushion the effects of removal of fuel subsidy.
According to him, “The people reside in the states. Even if I set up a panel, I will have to go through the governors and the local governments. We will continue to talk to the governors.

Nigerians must hold them accountable. It’s unheard of that in a constitutional democracy; a president will sit here and give orders to states. I can only appeal to them to implement.
The people reside in the states, and if the governor is not doing well, the people must vote them out.”
