The Edo State government has lambasted the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Muhammed Idris, over his criticism of Governor Godwin Obaseki’s comments regarding Federal Government’s handling of palliatives as a result of the removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.
At a press conference last Wednesday, Obaseki had criticised the Tinubu-led government of insincerity in the distribution of the palliatives across the country as well as not having laid down plans to cushion the effects of the hardship Nigerians were going through as a result of the subsidy removal.
“I have always warned. I warned Nigerians during the last May Day this year. I told them that we have come to the end of the road and that the old economic order in Nigeria is gone and we have to come up with a new economic order and stop deceiving ourselves as a nation,” the Edo governor had said.
