A former spokesman of the Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign, Daniel Bwala, has urged traders against hoarding foods and other basic items in the country.
Bwala assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu is doing
all he can to tackle issues affecting Nigeria’s economy and security.
He said Tinubu is giving states the necessary support to
improve the living conditions of Nigerians.
Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “We continue to appeal to
Nigerians to be hopeful and optimistic. Mr president @officialABAT is doing all
he can to tackle the issues bothering the economy and security.
“He is engaging all stakeholders, making the necessary
decisions and giving the necessary support to the federating units to improve
the living conditions of their people. Every citizen belongs to a state.
“With revenue coming from the removal of fuel subsidy, the
states have enjoyed an optimum increase in allocations, it’s up to them to
deploy the resources to better the lives of people in their states.
“Protests coming from states also show how poorly governors
are governing their people. People should also put their focus on states and
ask the right questions; what exactly has changed in states, since the increase
in revenue allocations?
“Finally, like the Igbo adage “Madu kan naya” meaning “man
is the enemy of man” traders and businessmen should desist from speculations
and hoarding basic things like food from the populace. It is shameful that some
traders who hoard goods and items turn around to say the economy is doing bad,
when in fact the economy thrives on free trade where pricing is determined by
“market forces”, not “market hoarding.”
