Samuel Abidoye, the Chairman and Spiritual leader of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide has appealed to the Federal Government to check the rising cost of food in the country.
The appeal was made on Sunday by Abidoye while addressing a press conference at the church headquarters, Galilee Land, Orile-Igbon to herald the church’s 82nd International Conference.
He noted that many Nigerians could not afford to feed properly as a result of escalating prices of foodstuff.
He said, “In Nigeria presently, the standard of living in the country is nothing to write home about as people find it difficult to eat three square meals per day and in most cases, some people don’t even have anything to eat.
“Prices of food are on the high side and keep rising daily, hence the need to introduce a price control mechanism to check the trend.
“Government should address the high cost of living to make life easy for Nigerians.
“Another thing, as a fold one cannot but talk about, is the increasing insecurity in the land daily, people are being kidnapped and ransoms are demanded.
“Nigerians in the diaspora now find it difficult to come home and invest as a result of insecurity. The ugly trend should be addressed and culprits should face the law to serve as a deterrent to others.”
Abidoye also appealed to Nigerians to vote wisely to choose leaders that would bail out the country in the forthcoming 2023 elections, urging the youth to electoral malpractices.
