The All Progressives Congress Senators yesterday against the motion for the payment of N5, 000 monthly allowance to unemployed youths in Nigeria.
During yesterday’s plenary, Senator Philip Aduda PDP representing FCT, had presented the motion before the house for discussion but this was greeted with many senators shouting a resounding ‘No’.
An attempt by the senate Minority leader, Godswill Akpabio, to second the motion was also shouted down.
When the senate president decided to put the motion before the house in a form of question, asking if the bill should be discussed or not, PDP senators shouted “Aye” in favour of it while the majority in the house, APC, shouted No.
Meanwhile, Senator Ben Murray Bruce today took to twitter to express sadness over the “Killing” by APC senators of a motion to compel President Buhari to commence the Payment of 5000 naira to unemployed young Nigerians as promised by the APC during the 2015 presidential campaign
It is sad that the Senate rejected the motion to pay unemployed youths ₦5000 monthly despite the support of PDP Senators for the motion.
