Shina Abubakar, Osogbo

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, Bosun Oyintiloye has tasked President Bola Tunubu, to keep an eagle eye on how funds allocated to different poverty alleviation programmes in the country are expended.

Oyintiloye, while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Osogbo, said efforts towards alleviating poverty among the masses would be sabotaged if the president did not monitor the processes effectively.

The APC chieftain said that all necessary strategies must be put in place to ensure that different poverty  intervention programmes by the president  have positive impacts on the lives of the less privileged Nigerians

“We have a president that is monitoring everything being done in his government and that is why we have absolute trust in him.

“We must encourage and support the President to keep an eye on these intervention programmes to prevent diversion.

“Since the money is meant to alleviate poverty among the masses, every necessary strategy must be in place to ensure that allocated money has positive impacts on the lives of the less privileged Nigerians”, he said

Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council, however, commended the president on the N150 billion allocated for poverty alleviation programmes in the year 2024.

He said that the allocated amount would go a long way in impacting positively the lives of several Nigerians.
