The Peoples Democratic Party has called on President BUHARI to extend a similar financial intervention that was released to Lagos State to all other states of the federation.

The party in a statement by its Spokesman, KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN, asked that the CBN should open an arrangement with commercial banks for the suspension of charges for use of ATM cards as part of the panacea to ease the burden of poor Nigerians during the COVID-19 lockdown.

He said the party urges the Federal Government to activate a similar social sustenance scheme to immediately defray electricity tariff, particularly in areas populated by low income and vulnerable Nigerians across the country within the period of the lockdown.

According to him, the PDP is worried that Government is to reach most vulnerable Nigerians, whose survival directly depends on daily income in the markets that have been crippled by the COVID-19 lockdown.
