0

National Coordinator of Voters Club of Nigeria (VCN), UCHE MBACHU has called on Nigerians to stop donating money to the Federal government.

In a press statement yesterday made available to newsmen in  Awka, VCN noted that the donations were out of place as so many poor people are without food and sick without attention before this corona virus but no one attended to them.

The statement read in parts: ‘’I don’t want to hear pastors donate billions this and billionaires donate that. Let them all start distribution channels. Use those billions in paying off some bills for the poor, like rents, TV bills, subsidize the cost of mask because a poor Nigerian cannot afford mask at N400 every day.

‘’They need to stop playing to the gallery. Giving billions to Nigerian governmentt is like pouring soap into the river. A government that was about to borrow $30b and you are giving it billions, what do you think he will do with it?

‘’Catholic Church is not announcing any donations of billions. She’s in the field right now distributing relief packages to those who need it. Churches that don’t have distributing channels should give their billions to Catholic charity groups like Saint Vincent De Paul, Mother Theresa sisters, Franciscans, the Anawims of the Lord (this a congregation with its apostolate to the poor). They are not announced or celebrated and they are everywhere you can find the poor. Anawim means the poor of the poorer.

‘’The federal government should give emergency funds to the Catholic Church, she has the structures, outreach and audacity with men and women who have dedicated their entire lives to the services of the poor and the needy.

‘’The billionaires donating to government are only exploiting our pains and sorrows for their gains. They are being opportunistic with their donations.

They are donating in anticipation for contracts, for debt and criminal allegations forgiveness. They expect a multiple reward for their donations after the pandemic. They are simply investing into the federal government.

Donate your money through an agency with known credibility to distribute to the people. You can also donate to voters club of Nigeria VCN, the largest none governmental organization with over 4m members Nationwide.

It has grassroots presence in all the states and LGAs, many Senatorial zones, Electoral Wards in Nigeria. Empower them to reach the poor. The federal government can work with them to reach the poor in the remotest villages in Nigeria. I doubt if there’s any agency with such widespread in Nigeria today.

Your donations to the government are more like a welfare package for the corrupt leaders. They share the money among themselves, then act a scene of miserable Felicity in the public as they have started doing fumigating the markets but leaving the gutters open and dirty.

Pay that money to the account of Nigerians with verifiable BVN, those who in the last 9 months have not made up to a million in their accounts. Pay into their accounts to subsidize food Staples. Prices are going higher every day, people are not making money but getting hungry staying along. Nigerians are quarantined, feed them and make their homes comfortable before they make the streets unbearable.

The statement concluded: ‘’Our billionaire donors please donate to alleviate the suffering of the masses not to feed the fat pockets of our selfish and greedy politicians. This way God will bless you, increase your wealth, and grant you good health and long life’’.
