COVID -19: Announce palliatives or risk mass revolt, Shehu Sani tells Buhari
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts in the 8th National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, has asked the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to announce palliative measures that would cushion the effects of the current lockdown for Nigerians.
Sani, who asked the state governors to also follow suit, said there may be civil disobedience if people have nothing to eat at home again and are out of cash.
The Senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Senate stated this on Sunday via his verified twitter handle.
He insisted that it would be difficult to expect total obedience from hungry Nigerians if nothing was done to support them.
He said,
“To the Federal and state governments, provide palliatives, reliefs and succour for the innocent poor you kept at home to avert defiance against all directives.
“(There could be) open disobedience against the establishment and ultimate revolt against the system when the stock of food and water in the homes of the people are exhausted.
“There will be nothing else left to fear and no law or directives left to be obeyed.”
