A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, said that Nigerians who are neither handicapped nor aged should work or die and not expect palliative from the federal government.
Omokri stated this during an interview with TVC, a video clip of which he shared on his official X account.
According to Omokri, President Bola Tinubu should only consider giving money to school children, pregnant women, the elderly and disabled, insisting that every other person should either work, start farming, or die.
He said that the federal government should make education up to secondary school to be free for all.
He said, “We are now reviving ourselves. What the government needs to do now is give free education from nursery all the way to secondary school.
“Also another thing the government should do is that everybody from 65 years old, if you’re not earning a pension, you get to be getting something like N35,000 so that you can buy food.
“Every other person in Nigeria, as long as you’re not disabled, the government should not give you a dime. If you want to die, die! That’s what it is.”
