The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has said that the 2024 budget recently submitted to the National Assembly by President Bola Tinubu was aimed at continuous impoverishment of the people.

It said a government that claimed to have inherited a bankrupt and empty treasury appears not to be circumspect of the state as its actions particularly in making appointments does not appear to show that the administration was indeed serious in its desire to provide “renewed hope”.

The National Chairman of the party, Falalu Bello, in a statement issued Sunday titled, ‘The Appropriation Bill: Seeing Beyond Semantics,’ urged Nigerians not to place any hope on the 2024 budget.

He said while the statistics and assumption upon which the 2024 budget was based looks good on the surface, a thorough look at the assumptions underlying the budget showed clearly that this administration wasn’t ready for nation building.

Falalu was of the opinion that this government was still a relic of the past that is jealously protecting the few oligarchs as it does not have a path to the good future Nigerians seek.
