He has told the governors to go and do what they can to alleviate the sufferings of the people; if you ask me, if I am a governor, I will also do part of money sharing; we have the population, we have means of knowing it; we have NIN, we BVN, we have voter’s card, we have so many ways.”
He added; “Are we going to miss some people, Yes; are some people likely to collect more than once, maybe; are these the reasons to stop sharing money- No. Udoji did it; they did it in America during the COVID; they shared money; they did it in UK; it is hardship; it is called hardship fund; make it available; people should access it”
