A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba, on Wednesday, joined many Nigerians to complain about the prevailing economic hardships in the country.
Garba, who has been a prominent supporter of the President
Bola Tinubu administration, lamented that the economic hardship is really
biting hard.
According to him, his wife bought bags of rice on Tuesday at
N75,000.00 each, whereas it was sold at N53,000.00 in late December.
In a post on his X handle, the APC chieftain urged leaders to be sensitive to the plight of the ordinary people, saying some unnecessary foreign travels, displays of extravagant paraphernalia is not good at the moment.
He wrote, “I think with the current spate of pain and anger
due to the high cost of living, some government officials, especially political
office holders need to show some restraint from public display of grandiosity.
“It is affecting the image of the government negatively in
front of the public.
“The economy is really biting hard. My wife bought bags of
rice 75k each, yesterday, it was 53k in late December. It is tough out there.
All leaders need to be sensitive to the plight of the ordinary people.
“Some unnecessary foreign travels, displays of extravagant
paraphernalia is not good at this time.
“In addition to the measure’s government is taking to
control the situation, public office holders need to not distort the process by
expressing extravagance or attending spend-leisure events that add no direct
value to addressing the current situation.
“We shall overcome and Nigerian Economy under President
Tinubu will be stronger than ever insha Allah.”
