President Tinubu

In its new year message to the nation, the Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to pay attention to what will make people happy.
In a Press Release signed by the leading opposition coalition’s spokesperson, Comrade Mark Adebayo, the coalition frowned at the “seemingly reckless abandonment of everything in terms of policies that can positively impact on the lives of regular Nigerians since the inception of the Tinubu presidency”.
“Fellow Nigerians, it is difficult to say happy new year in this period of uncertainty, mass hunger, anger, insecurity and the abject lack of empathy or deliberate policy thrusts from the leadership of this country to make the lives of Nigerians better as the government of the day has engaged in seemingly reckless abandonment of everything in terms of policies that can positively impact on the lives of regular Nigerians since the inception of the Tinubu presidency.
“From day one on May 29th, 2023, in fact within minutes of his inauguration as president, even before his departure from the Eagle Square where he was inaugurated, the country was thrown into unprecedented economic crisis and harrowing direct hit on the Nigerian masses due to the reckless and inhumane manner by which the fuel subsidy was thoughtlessly removed without first putting in place palliative measures that could assuage the excruciating impact of the subsidy removal. From then on till date, the inflation rate skyrocketed from about 20% in May 2023 when this administration took over to over 30% and still rising as a direct impact of the untimely and insensitive fuel subsidy removal.”

“As a result, food and other essential household items, healthcare, transportation and education suddenly became luxury items beyond the reach of most Nigerians. The suffering in the country has so much escalated that the over 130 million multidimensionally poor Nigerians can no longer breathe because of its suffocating impact on majority of Nigerians. The president himself witnessed this first-hand in his home state of Lagos when he travelled there on vacation in December when he was greeted by mass of Lagosians with the shouts of
“Ebi n pa wa o, Åsiwaju”, meaning “We are hungry, Mr. President”. What a way to welcome a president home by his own people, in his strongest political domain. That is reflective of the general feelings about this government all over the country today”.
