Chief Olabode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday says President Bola Tinubu is being advised by voodoo economists.

Speaking on Arise TV, George also frowned at the palliatives being given by the Federal Government across the country, saying it doesn't make any economic sense.

According to him, after finishing the palliatives, the people will go hungry again and start looking for the next meal.

"The issue of palliatives doesn't make any economic sense to me. Look, teach people how to fish so you can feed them forever. How many times are you going to keep buying rice and supplying it to people? Some of those palliatives are so bad. You cannot do that. This country is massive".

The former military governor of Ondo state also offered advice to the government on how to address the hardship in the country and better the lives of Nigerians.

"There are other ways you can follow to positively impact on the people. Micro credit, very low interest rates, special rates for farmers. You can buy fertilisers to support them for production".

'If it's only consumption you are looking at, then i don't know the voodoo economists that are there advising the president. This is very disappointing".

Bode George should focus on his own failures instead of criticizing the FG. The government knows what it's doing; palliatives are necessary for some people.

Bode George's perspective is noted, but palliatives are a step in the right direction. The FG is trying to cushion the effects of hardship while exploring sustainable solutions. Let's give them some credit for the effort!

Sir, it seems you're not following the political trends. Nigerians has been turned to citizens of an IDP camp. Their economic prosperity is no longer a priority, they should all sit down and be few like fowls owned by a poor hungry person.

Election has consequences.
