Veteran singer, actor and human rights activist, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has reacted to the N500 billion recently approved for palliatives by the Nigerian National Assembly.
In a post shared on his social media page, the 73-year-old thespian said the eight years spent by the immediate past president, Muhammadu Buhari, “is looking better” than his successor’s 60 days in office.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had in a recent letter to the House of Representatives, said 12 million families would get N8,000 each over a period of six months to ameliorate the hardships faced as a result of the subsidy removal from the approved fund.

Reacting to the development, Charly Boy berated the Tinubu-led administration for earmarking N8,000 for 12 million suffering families monthly, while allocating N70 billion for National Assembly members who are less than 500.
Taking to his Twitter handle on Saturday, he wrote, “Can somebody help solve dis wahala. What kinda leadership will give us the suffering 12 million masses only 8k per month, and allocate to LawMakers wey no reach 500people 70 billion Naira.
“How come King Buhari’s 8yrs is looking better than Agbado’s 60 days in office.”
He also wondered if there is still hope for the poor in Nigeria.
