In response to Shehu Sani’s warning about the proposed eight thousand cash transfer for 12 million impoverished Nigerians, Mahdi Shehu, a Nigerian businessman, medical practitioner, and activist, expressed his belief that this initiative would not alleviate poverty.
Shehu Sani, a former senator, took to Twitter to caution the potential recipients, urging them to pray before accepting the cash transfer, as a similar program introduced by the previous administration had led to increased poverty levels in the country.
Mahdi Shehu, in his response to Shehu Sani’s remarks, criticized the initiative as an extension of President Buhari’s harmful policies, emphasizing that the money would not effectively address poverty-related issues. In a statement, he warned individuals to be cautious and vigilant, stating that the eight thousand Naira would not provide any substantial relief from poverty, suggesting that it was a deceptive measure.
In his words: “It is an extension of Buhari’s venom. Collect and swallow it at your own peril. This is a caveat and a wake-up call. N8k will never cushion any poverty effect. It is deceptive”
