The Senator representing Bauchi South in the Senate, Ali Wakili said that Nigerians are happy with the APC government.
In a chat with Saturday SUN, Wakili insisted that about 200,000 unemployed Nigerian youths have benefitted from Buhari's N-power program. Poor Nigerians have also benefitted from the N5000 stipend as promised by the Buhari's administration.
His words, "There are so many things for us to celebrate and for us to feel proud that the votes of the people have not gone in vain taking into accounts what happened prior to the coming of the APC government.
" We also have the social protection safety net, which is just a stop gap because when the APC took over and when Mr. President was campaigning, the quantum of youths that was always surging forward to receive him that were unemployed, gave us concern. So we are only trying to temporarily ameliorate the situation pending permanent solution. Last year, 200, 000 youths benefitted from the N-Power. In 2017 it is expected that 150, 000 would benefit.
"This is apart from other programmes like the social protection programme, where the poor get monthly stipend of N5000. So, by and large, Nigerians are happy with the APC government.
