Reduce price of fuel and food - Senator Ndume begs Tinubu

Senator Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno South has urged President Bola Tinubu to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians by reducing the escalating costs of food and energy.Ndume claimed some elements were collaborating with saboteurs to undermine the legacy of the Tinubu administration.In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, October 11, Ndume said;Bad elements are trying hard to turn the people against President Tinubus administration by advocating for harsh reforms and ineffective policies, rather than focusing on controlling inflation and the exchange rate, which are making life difficult for Nigerians,He expressed dismay that those intent on tarnishing the Presidents image would stop at nothing to inflict pain on the populace through so-called reforms, ultimately shifting the blame onto President Tinubu when the situation deteriorates.I believe President Bola Ahmed Tinubu genuinely wants to improve Nigeria and the lives of its citizens. I know this because of what he stands for. However, some of his advisers may not have the best interests of the people at heart and are giving him misguided advice, Ndume remarked.I urge him to resist these negative influences that seek to pit the people against his administration. The hardship inflicted by these advisers is becoming unbearable. Im currently in Borno, and I can attest to the suffering, hunger, frustration, and anger among the people.He added, In Borno State, many families cant afford to eat. The relentless price increases have created unimaginable hardship. Farmers struggle to transport their products due to exorbitant transportation costs. Those who can still sell their goods raise prices to cover these expenses, making food unaffordable for many. Travel has become prohibitively expensive; for example, the cost of travelling by road from Abuja to Maiduguri is astronomical. How can our people afford this?I know that President Tinubu means well for Nigerians, and he should not allow a few misguided advisers to ruin this country. I implore him to take action before its too late. Testing the patience of Nigerians is unwise, and that is precisely what these bad advisers are doing.He concluded, Upon the Presidents return to Nigeria, I urge him to urgently address these pressing issues. The purchasing power of Nigerians is severely weakened, and they cannot afford the burdens imposed by those who wish to harm the state. The post Reduce price of fuel and food - Senator Ndume begs Tinubu appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
