The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State on Tuesday decried the silence of Governor Hyacinth Alia on the distribution of palliatives released by the Federal Government to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal on Nigerians.
The National Economic Council (NEC) had last week approved the release of N5 billion each to the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to ease the hardship faced by Nigerians following the removal of subsidy on petrol in the country.
President Bola Tinubu had earlier approved the distribution of fertilizer and grains to states for the same purpose.
