APC Chairman Yilwatda Addresses Cash Transfer Visibility Issues
Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), addressed concerns regarding the visibility of beneficiaries from the government's conditional cash transfer program. He stated that over 10 million vulnerable Nigerians received N75,000 each but lack access to mobile phones, social media, and television, which limits their participation in public discussions.
Yilwatda made these comments on Saturday after a three-day retreat of the APC National Executive Council in Maiduguri, Borno State. He also criticized former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for his views on fuel subsidies, arguing that the removal of subsidies has enabled states to pay salaries and pensions.
Yilwatda claimed that reinstating subsidies would hinder ongoing projects and the government’s student loan scheme. He accused Abubakar of attempting to reverse the progress made under the Tinubu administration in his pursuit of the presidency.
