The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has called on the Federal Government to immediately devise ways of providing relief for poor Nigerians whose daily livelihood will be affected as a result of

the restriction on movement due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He warned that not making provisions ahead of time to address the basic needs of poor Nigerians may likely lead to more problems for the government, and less result in controlling the spread of the disease. “I’m not seeing anything at the moment targeted at providing some relief. If we lock up Nigeria today, then we will wake-up trouble, because majority of our citizens go to market everyday before they can get something to eat.

Must he use the word 'poor Nigerians' before he can make his statement

This is the most wisest, truest, bestest and sweetest statement DrAhmadLawan has ever made since he became SP. Prove to Nigerians now that you're not a Rubber Stamp by pushing this issue with all your powers and energies so that Nigerians can be better served welfare-wise....

Thanks you sir hope something good will done about it soon God bless Nigeria and help us end this problem soon in sha Allah

Such as the one the lawmakers just get!

Buhari should be watching you on Tv by now...even in this situation reps are taking delivery of their exotic cars. What have you done yourself for nigerians? DrAhmadLawan

So there’s still no data for Nigerians in this jet age, no social security it’s a blunt shame to lawmakers and FG

Buhari is on silent mode

Workers are yet to be paid till now, and someone with bags of money want to implement a lockdown procedures, not to mention provisions for the average person. Didn't they see what other developed countries did before implementing such?

Now you're talking sense. Otherwise how will you lockdown the country without such measures? 🤔

AhmedLawan_019 provide ur own first. Rubber Stamp on top plastic.

Buhari, MBuhari is not around.

Coronavirus lockdown: Cut the salaries of Senators & Members, Nigerians Tell Senate President, Lawan.

What about the health workers that are on the middle of the storm?

He talks?! 👏👏👏👏👏

AhmadLawan, SPNigeria In your capacity as the president of the senate what relief have you offered? All of you are quick to proffer solution without lifting a finger. Donate part of the huge fund you take home every month

Tongue in check, lips service 😂 Yinmu

Make them pay salary first, at least we will assist our neighbors. Cuz that one may not work

Olorun aje ko gbo

U personally wat have you done in dis regard for ur pple I your state. Have u mobilize the national assembly member to support the state financially....

Which Buhari, where is he?

So...our senate president is sensible as this..🙄

Let lawmakers donate their salaries to Nigerians

How about he reduces his allowance so there will be enough money to help Nigerians ?

ayemojubar 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄☹☹☹☹

Only Corona can give lawan this courage

Audio beat

What about you, are you not the Senate President

Finally, Lawan said something great!!

That's d way it should be

Buhari that has left nija.rubbish

The best relief the govt can give to the people is food subsidy. followlasg can sell lake rice through already established structures at affordable prices. The NigeriaGov can support various States in food programmes to help the vulnerable masses. Cheers

Is this another script? Or a better and haman spirit is talking in him?

He is as powerless as any other Nigerian. Rubber stamp

Things that would have been done weeks ago. No address, no plan, no nothing. The situation is just looking hopeless. Las Las we only have ourselves in times like this.

Pls when is the Senate going for overseas retreat or seminar?

Buhari that is not around at the moment...

MBuhari that is no way to be found

I hope you're not just playing the game alone ? All we need is action and not talking talking It is possible if they wants to do it since it's very easy for them to loot our money, this should should be easy for them as well

Watch out for Mallam Garba and Elder Femi. CheapPoliticsFame

Hunger will kill Nigerians ohhh

Must they always tell him what to do? How did we get here for go sake

Who gave Lawal this courage? Thank you corona.

Must buhari be told what to do all the time.

I hope the presidents blinded supporters won't start blackmailing him.

What a wonderful though

Forget MBuhari , we all know his condition. He doesn't hear anything. Only God will help us. I pray those monies donated are not looted. It's possible in his government.

He is on self isolation and Abba Kyari is not there to give him such instruction, don't expect him to listen to you Lawan

Such a wiseman

Rubber Stamp Don Dey Talk o

They can do it if they want to....I just don't think they will.

The best way to know if you have corona virus is to cough in rich people's face and wait for their test results..

Lawan wants to elope with my share of the money abi
